DCP Mengde said, “Our team reached the spot within 20 minutes when Akshay was alive. We rushed him to NMMC hospital where he died during treatment. The accused had escaped by then.”


“On searching the car we also found two sealed alcohol bottles. We did proper panchnama and when we were planning to arrest Abbott on Monday, he surrendered. We have collected his blood samples and sent them for tests. We are investigating the matter and all allegations are false. We are not trying to save the accused,” he added. 

Mengde said, “Akshay was alive. If the accused had taken him to the hospital on time, he could have been saved.” Gamre said, “The cops told us that they found four to five alcohol bottles in the car. Some of them were open. We demand a proper investigation in the matter.”
