Surat Rural Deputy Superintendent of Police SN Rathod said that the accident took place on December 18 at Palsana on the outskirts of Surat. The accused has been identified as Biren Ladumore Ahir. He is a construction businessman. Superintendent of Police Hitesh Jaysar said that the accused claimed that he did not know that the motorcyclist was trapped under his car. He was trying to run away in fear after the accident.
The Surat incident came to the limelight this week when the man, identified as Sagar Patil, was riding the bike, while his wife rode pillion. A car from his back hit his bike and then fled the accident spot. The woman’s body was found at the accident spot, but Sagar Patil’s body was dragged for about 12 km from the accident spot.
One onlooker recorded the video that showed the body was stuck below the car and being dragged by the vehicle. On the basis of the video, the police later tracked the vehicle and identified the driver.
Identified as Biren Shivbhai Ladumore, the accused was arrested by the police team from Mumbai.
During the investigation, the evidence showed that the body was dragged for around 12 km from the accident spot. The police are investigating if the accused was under the influence of alcohol.
“The victim Sagar Patil was riding a motorcycle with his wife Ashviniben sitting pillion on the night of last Wednesday when a speeding car hit the two-wheeler but the driver didn’t stop and kept driving. The woman fell. She was rushed to a hospital but Patil was not found at the spot,” said Surat (Rural) superintendent of police Hitesh Joysar.
“At late night (hours after the incident), a body was found in an area located around 12 kilometres away from the spot of the accident under the limits of the Kamrej police station. The body was of Patil. Prima facie, he was killed after getting stuck under the car and dragged on the road,” he further added.
