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.

Vijay calls on TN Governor, stakes claim to form govt
Chennai (PTI): TVK chief Vijay on Wednesday met Tamil Nadu Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar and staked claim to form the government in the state, two days after his party emerged as the single largest party but was short of a simple majority.
The TVK founder met the Governor at 3.15 pm following an invitation from the Lok Bhavan. He was accompanied by party leaders, including "Bussy" N Anand, Aadhav Arjuna, K A Sengottaiyan, C T Nirmal Kumar and others during the meeting.
Vijay met the Governor hours after the Congress party declared support and following a meeting between the TVK chief and Congress leaders here. While the TVK appears keen on securing support from the VCK and the two Left parties, who continue to be part of the DMK-led alliance, they have so far not given any positive signals.
The TVK won 108 seats in the 234-member strong Tamil Nadu Assembly in the recently held elections. 118 is the majority mark to form the government.
Vijay is likely to take oath as Chief Minister on May 7, according to party sources.
The DMK won 59, AIADMK 47, Congress 5, PMK 4, IUML 2, CPI 2, VCK 2, CPI-M 2. BJP, DMDK and AMMK won 1 seat each.
