In another hit-and-run case in Pune, a Swiggy delivery man died and three others were injured after an Audi car rammed two bikes in the Mundhwa area around 2 am, police said. The driver fled the scene immediately after the accident but was later detained at his home in the Hadapsar area.

Ayush Tayal (34), who was driving the car, fled from the spot after the accident near Tadigutta in the city’s Mundhwa area. Later, he was detained after police tracked him down with the help of CCTV footage, he said.

The food delivery person has been identified as Rauf Akbar Shaikh.

“The car driven by Tayal crashed into Shaikh’s bike. The accused fled the scene but was later detained after police used footage of CCTV cameras to identify the car and then track him down with its details,” said Additional Commissioner of Police Manoj Pail.

Tayal is a senior executive at a firm in Ranjangaon MIDC and he has been sent for a medical examination to ascertain if he was intoxicated at the time of the accident, the official said.

A case has been registered against Tayal under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and Motor Vehicles Act, he added.
