Pune, Oct 11: A food delivery man was killed after an Audi car driven by an allegedly drunk senior executive of a private firm hit his two-wheeler in Pune in the early hours of Friday, police said.
The luxury car's driver Ayush Tayal (34) fled from the spot after the accident near Tadigutta in the city’s Mundhwa area and was arrested later with the help off CCTV footage, an official said.
"The incident took place at Koregaon Park, Mumdhwa road near Poonawala Fincorp around 1.30 am on Friday. Tayal's car first hit a couple of two wheelers, causing minor injuries to riders, just 100 metres away from the spot where food delivery person Rauf Akbar Shaikh's motorcycle was hit and he sustained injuries," said Manoj Patil, Additional Commissioner of Police (North Region).
Shaikh later succumbed to his injuries, the official added.
“The accused fled the scene but was later held from his home after CCTV footage was checked to identify the car. He was tracked down with the help of the vehicle's details," Patil added.
The medical examination of Tayal, a senior executive at a firm in Ranjangaon MIDC here, confirmed he was driving under the influence of alcohol, as per police.
Tayal, who was charged under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and Motor Vehicles Act provisions, was produced in a local court and remanded in police custody till October 13, the official added.
Shaikh's cousin Majhar Shaikh said the deceased was a delivery man with food aggregator app Swiggy.

'Inviolability of UN premises must be respected': India condemns Israeli attack on UN peacekeepers
New Delhi, Oct 11: India on Friday said it was "concerned" at the "deteriorating" security situation in parts of West Asia, amid reports that United Nations peacekeepers have been caught in the intensified fighting in southern Lebanon.
In a statement, the Ministry of External Affairs also said New Delhi continues to monitor the situation closely.
"We are concerned at the deteriorating security situation along the Blue Line. We continue to monitor the situation closely," the MEA said.
The 120-km Blue Line is a United Nations-recognised demarcation line to indicate that Israel had withdrawn its military from southern Lebanon. It separates Lebanon from Israel and the Golan Heights, but it is not an official international border.
"Inviolability of UN premises must be respected by all, and appropriate measures taken to ensure the safety of UN peacekeepers and the sanctity of their mandate," the MEA said in its statement.
The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), the UN peacekeeping mission in Lebanon, said in a statement on October 10 that "recent escalation along the Blue Line is causing widespread destruction of towns and villages in south Lebanon".
"In the past days, we have seen incursions from Israel into Lebanon in Naqoura and other areas. Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers have clashed with Hizbullah elements on the ground in Lebanon," it alleged in the statement.
