Constable killed, another injured as car runs over them in Worli during patrolling

“Unfortunately, Kumbhar, who was hit directly, succumbed to the injuries he sustained in the accident. Riddhi Patil is currently undergoing treatment, and her condition is said to be stable,” a police official said, adding that an FIR had been registered in the matter and the car’s driver, Ramchandra Rane, 46, had been detained.

“An FIR has been registered against the driver and his blood samples have been sent for testing to find out if he was driving under the influence of alcohol,” the officer added. The police are also reviewing CCTV footage from the coastal road to determine the speed at which he was driving.
The police are also questioning the driver to find out if he had been driving through the night and had fallen asleep at the wheel, which led to the incident.

Senior police officers, including Satyanarayan Choudhary, Joint Commissioner of Police (law and order), visited Wockhardt Hospital, where he met family members of the two constables.
A police officer said that the duo were on night shift and that the incident occurred just around the time when their shift was coming to an end.
