Priyanka Satra ( 34) was killed
“The car also hit three autos, injuring their drivers—Subhedar Chandra Gautam (50), Ramkesh Rajbhar (35) and Abdul Rehman Shaikh (25). A passenger in one of the autos, Zaitun Bi Imam (48), suffered serious head injuries.
A medical test at a govt hospital showed no alcohol content in his blood, said police. Chamankar told police that he was driving from Malad subway towards S V Road when he stepped on the accelerator instead of the brake. They were all moved to Babasaheb Ambedkar Hospital,” said a police official. “There wasn’t a hint of remorse on his face, nor did he offer an apology,” said Manthan. Corporator Pravin Chheda said, “We learnt that the accused was allowed to use his phone while being lodged in police custody and was moved to an air-conditioned room at the police station for a while.
Police arrested the motorist, Krishna Chamankar, who claimed he accidentally hit the accelerator instead of the brakes. Charges of rash driving, negligence and dangerous driving have been invoked against him. The impact threw the two off the bike. A large crowd gathered, which alerted Malad police and a team was sent to the spot. Another passenger has also been injured. I have written to the police commissioner demanding a thorough inquiry.”
Chamankar was produced before a magistrate court on Monday, which remanded him in judicial custody. Late on Sunday, furious relatives of the Satras stormed Malad police station to demand that serious charges be applied against Chamankar.
