Maha BJP chief's son rams into three cars, scooter with his Audi Q8 in Nagpur

In another case of hit and run case, Maharashtra BJP president Chandrashekar Bawankule's son Sanket zoomed out of an upscale pub at 12.30am Monday, rammed three cars and a scooter, triggering a pile-up in Ramdaspeth in Nagpur.

However, this did not end here as the BJP Maharashtra chief's son crashing into another vehicle 6km away at Mankapur, where the occupants of the car were dragged out by a mob.

Two persons were injured in the accident. Police said Arjun Haore, an engineer who was driving the car, and his businessman friend seated next to him, Ronit Chinthamwar, were arrested.




A ToI report quoting Zonal DCP Rahul Madne said blood samples of Haore and Chinthamwar have been sent to forensic lab to check for alcohol. "We are investigating the case from every angle," he said.

Sanket flees from crime scene:
While the FIR does not mention Sanket or the car registration number and he may have wriggled out of the chaos and slipped away during the 10km ride, after he realised the situation was spinning out of control, reported ToI further quoting its sources. However, a senior police officer told ToI Sanket was not present at the scene of crime.

Conduct fair probe & nab guilty: Bawankule to cops
Bawankule on Monday said police should launch a fair and objective probe and swiftly act against the guilty.

“Everyone is equal before law, irrespective of their influence. Whoever is guilty should be booked,” he said.

Bawankule admitted that the Audi belonged to his son, Sanket. CCTV footage from the site revealed that the Audi driver took off from the bar at Dharampeth and drove at breakneck speed for 2km, before crashing into a car and hitting several other vehicles in succession.
