Cops said they suspect that the 23-year-old south Mumbai resident was intoxicated when he hit a jogger in Worli, leading to her death on Sunday. They are awaiting his medical report to ascertain whether it was alcohol or some other substance, said cops.

The Worli police produced Sumer Vijay Merchant in Bhoiwada court on Monday to seek custody stating that if released, he would influence the witnesses—his friends. The court remanded him in police custody until March 22.
