In a statement, Assistant Inspector Sopan Rokhande said, "Auto driver Janardan Yadav (42), a resident of Juhugaon, was returning home from Vashi railway station. Around 2 am, when he reached near the traffic signal junction, a speeding Ertiga coming from sector-17, collided with the auto. Though the signal was functioning, both the drivers did not slow down at the intersection. Footage from CCTV cameras installed at the junction will be checked to find out which driver violated the traffic rule."
"As the auto driver has been killed, driver of the SUV, Amol Kumbhar (33), a Nerul resident and a real estate agent, has been arrested. Also, he was under the influence of alcohol," he added
