Poonawalla also tagged Pune City Police, the Pune Commissioner of Police, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, and the Chief Minister's Office, urging authorities to ensure strict legal action and prevent the accused from escaping accountability.
Along with the posts, Poonawala shared a photograph from the hospital showing his mother on bed with medical monitoring equipment around her. Although her face was covered in the image.
In an another related development, his brother, political analyst Tehseen Poonawalla, shared CCTV footage on X that he claimed captured the moment their mother was struck by the vehicle.
WTF is going on ? My mom a senior citizen went for a drive with my driver and executive assistant & was waiting on the side while they were tanking up the gas in our car, someone just hit her (seems deliberate) and ran away ! Really wtf . @Shehzad_Ind @PuneCityPolice pic.twitter.com/rvR95r2u5l Tehseen Poonawalla Official (@tehseenp) February 3, 2026
Reacting to the incident, Tehseen said his mother, a senior citizen, had stepped out with their driver and executive assistant and was standing at the roadside while the car was being refuelled when she was hit. He alleged that the act appeared deliberate, noting that she was standing far from the road when the vehicle struck her.
He said a police complaint would be lodged and efforts were underway to trace the vehicle involved. Providing an update on her condition, Tehseen said his mother had suffered a fractured hip and would require surgery. She has been admitted to hospital, and doctors are assessing her vitals before proceeding with the operation.
In another update, Shehzad Poonawala mentioned Pune police is in touch with the family and stern action will be taken against the accused. Sharing the tweet on X he mentioned..
Just an update:
Pune police is in touch with my family
Hoping for quick & stern action soon against the accused

Calling the incident infuriating, Tehseen said it was deeply distressing that a senior citizen had to endure such trauma. He added that given past threats against him, which were documented in police and intelligence reports, authorities should act decisively.
In a subsequent update, he said his mother would need hip surgery and a permanent rod implant, describing the incident as both heartbreaking and outrageous. He also said he had spoken to senior police officials, reiterating that the accused either acted deliberately or chose to flee after hitting an elderly woman.
Mom has been admitted to the hospital, If her stats are good, hip surgery tomorrow. This is so infuriating that a senior citizen has to undergo this. There was a threat against me, for which there were police & LIB reports so @PuneCityPolice can do the needful.
