Passers-by rushed both of them to Rajawadi Hospital, Ghatkopar wherein Pujari was declared dead upon arrival. According to the police, Chandanshive sustained minor scratches. Senior Inspector of the Saki Naka Police Station, Avinash Dharmadhikari, said: “The deceased was not wearing a helmet, which could have softened the impact of hitting the divider.”
The families of the victims damaged the bus after the incident. The police defused the tension and arrested the bus driver, Tanaji Kumbhar, under IPC sections 279 (rash driving) and 304 (A) (causing death by negligence).
