One person was killed, while another sustained injuries after a 17-year-old boy allegedly rammed a car into the footpath in Mumbai’s Malad West area. The incident took place on Tuesday and the police booked the accused and his friend who allegedly lent him the vehicle despite knowing that he did not possess a driver’s licence.
The minor was identified as Mohammed Hamid Banikar and his friend Sameer Shaikh.
Hindustan Times reported that a constable, who was present near the scene, informed the police station about the accident at 8:30 am that a four-wheeler had hit two men and later smashed into a tree near Interface Building number 7 at Mindspace at New Link Road.
The cop found that the front portion of the car was damaged and had some blood stains around it. Preliminary probe has found that both accused had borrowed the car from another friend Saad Faizal Solanki for a fun ride. It was later known to the police that the car was rented and was owned by a person named Asif Khan.
Hindustan Times reported that an eyewitness informed the police that the car was allegedly moving in a zig-zag manner and was speeding towards footpath.
The deceased has been identified as Shubham Rawat. While the other man, Dattaram Ayer was discharged after treatment.
Both accused also suffered minor injuries and were taken to a local hospital. Police registered a case against them under section 304A, 338, and 427 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
