The Versova police recently arrested Bollywood singer Aditya Narayan for allegedly hitting an autorickshaw with his Mercedes benz car and injuring the passenger, woman and a senior citizen, the autorickshaw driver. Narayan was later released on bail.
The incident took place when he was taking a U-turn and failed to judge the traffic. The incident took place in front of Indralok building, Lokhandwala back road, Andheri (West). Aditya also sustained a minor injury on his hand.
An officer from Versova police station confirmed that Narayan was later given bail from the police station.
Another officer from Versova police station said that the injured Rajkumar Palekar(64), the autorickshaw driver, and Surekha Shivekar, the 32-year-old passenger, were taken to Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani hospital by Narayan himself. “Prima facie it did not look like a case of drink and drive but we are waiting for his medical reports,” added the officer.
He added, “We have registered an FIR under sections 279 (punishment for rash driving), 338 (punishment for causing grievous hurt) read with section 184 of Motor Vehicles Act of the Indian Penal Code and waiting for the report of his medical test to check whether he was under the influence of alcohol or not.”
