A man identified as the nephew of a Gujarat BJP MLA is arrested in connection with an Ahmedabad hit-and-run after a speeding Range Rover struck a motorcycle, killing the pillion passenger and seriously injuring the bike driver. Police say the occupants fled the scene following the early-morning crash near Shilaj Circle, and the vehicle was later traced through surveillance and registration details.
According to reports, the crash happened around 7 a.m. on November 11, when the accused was reportedly returning from a party in Kalol, Gandhinagar, with four friends. Police identified the deceased as Harshbhai Purbia and the injured rider as Pradeep Dadwal. The accused was arrested more than 40 hours later, and the vehicle was seized while investigations continued, including forensic checks and an examination by the Regional Transport Office and medical examination.
Outlets differ mainly on emphasis. Some lead with arrest timing and fleeing, while others foreground allegations of police letting him off. One report also states he is released on bail, while others focus on the arrest and ongoing investigation rather than bail outcomes.
