Pune: Racing on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway could have proven very costly for a Mumbai resident, who fortunately escaped with minor injuries, along with his passengers.

According to an Inspector from Khopoli police, "The Polo car driver, Abdullah Batatawala (22), a resident of Mumbai Central, was with a group of some 15 people, all travelling in four cars to Lonavala. He had three of the people in his car. All the cars halted at Khalapur check post, and from there the drivers started racing.
The accident took place some five kilometres from the toll naka, where the road goes uphill and he might have lost control there and dashed a truck from behind. The left side of the car got damaged. Some eyewitnesses complained about the group racing. We have noted the incident, as the truck driver did not want to lodge a complaint.
After providing First Aid, we charged Batatawala a fine, and let them go."
