The victim, Devesh alias Bunty Dixit (36), died on the spot, while the accused, Pawan Parashar (22), later drove to the Cidco police station and surrendered, police said. The chase ended near Mangesh Gas Agency in the N-7 area of Cidco. The impact was so forceful that the two-wheeler was flung nearly 150 feet away.
Police said Parashar rammed Dixit’s two-wheeler from behind, throwing him onto the road. Parashar then took a U-turn and drove back towards the injured man, according to eyewitness accounts cited by police. A video of the incident shows the sequence of events as a man allegedly runs over his friend with a car before repeatedly bludgeoning him with a stick and an iron rod in broad daylight. He got out of the car and repeatedly struck Dixit on the head with a stick and an iron rod he had carried with him.

Preliminary investigation revealed that Dixit was returning home after a gym session when Parashar, a resident of Wankhedenagar, allegedly began pursuing him in a car.
