A tragic accident occurred in Nagpur yesterday evening when an Audi collided with two vehicles and a two-wheeler. The accident, which occurred near the Center Point Hotel, resulted in extensive damage to all the vehicles involved. Fortunately, despite the severity of the accident, no one was seriously injured.

The Sitabari police station has launched an investigation into the incident. Initial reports suggest that the Audi may have been driven under the influence of alcohol. Blood samples from the occupants are currently being analyzed to confirm this.

According to the officer of Sitabuldi police station, the Audi collided with the complainant Jitendra Sonkamble's car and then with a moped at 1 am, injuring two youths. “The Audi collided with several other vehicles travelling towards Mankapur. At the T-Point there, the vehicle collided with a Polo. The occupants of the Polo chased the Audi and stopped it near the Mankapur bridge. Two occupants, identified as drivers Arjun Hawre and Ronit Chittamwar, were stopped by the occupants of the Polo,” he said.

“The duo was taken to the Tehsil police station from where they were handed over to Sitabuldi police for further investigation. Medical examination of driver Arjun Hawre and passenger Chittamwar is underway. Driver Hawre could be arrested anytime,” he said.

The official said the occupants of the Audi were returning from a beer parlor in Dharampeth when the incident occurred, adding that the medical examination will also include blood tests for alcohol. “A case of reckless driving and other offences has been registered on the complaint of Sonkamble. No action has been taken so far against Sanket Bawankule and the two other occupants who allegedly fled from the scene at Mankapur Bridge,” the official said.
