The car bearing registration No TS 09 UC 0009 had hit a motor bike and an auto rickshaw at the said underpass at around 2:30 pm on Sunday.

The police officer said that soon after the accident, on Monday, a man went to the police station and surrendered saying he was the one driving the Bentley. However, investigation revealed that it was not true and that the man behind the wheel was Mohammed Haris Nalapad.
