Nagpur: In another high-profile hit-and-run case in Maharashtra, the state Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) chief Chandrashekhar Bawankule’s son, Sanket Bawankule, allegedly fled from the spot after his Audi car hit several vehicles in Nagpur on Monday.
Around 1 am, the Audi car first collided with complainant Jitendra Sonkamble’s car and then with a moped, leaving two young people riding it injured.
The Sitabuldi police have registered a case of rash driving against Arjun Haware, the driver of the car, and Ronit Chintanwar, who was sitting next to the driver. The news agency report didn’t confirm Bawankule’s mention in the complaint.
The police have confirmed that the luxury car was registered in the name of Sanket Bawankule and hit two other cars and a two-wheeler in Nagpur. Passengers sustained minor injuries because of rash driving.
“A case of rash driving and other offenses was registered on the complaint of Mr Sonkamble. Arjun Hawre and Ronit Chittamwar were later released on bail. Further probe is in progress,” the officer from Sitabuldi police station added.
Speaking to reporters about the incident, Maharashtra BJP chief Chandrashekhar Bawankule admitted the Audi car was registered in the name of his son Sanket.
