He told the policemen that he had found the unconscious man on the road and had picked him up for treatment,” Sawant said. The car driver took the police team to another spot and claimed that he had found Chavan at that location and left,” he said. We have found CCTV footage of the accident,” Sawant said. “Our team has started searching for the driver,” he said.
To avoid a collision, the driver then turned his car sharply to the left and ended up running over Chavan. “The driver, who is a techie from Baner, picked up the injured Chavan. He started driving and found a police patrolling team on Baner Road. “The man then shifted Chavan to a hospital in Aundh. Chavan, however, died at the hospital. The police team reached the hospital and took details of the car driver and the deceased. “Our team then tracked the route of the car to ascertain where exactly the car driver had picked up Chavan. We later found the spot where the car had actually run over him. Baner police have registered a case of rash and negligent driving against the car driver.
