Police have arrested four men who allegedly assaulted the driver and pushed him onto the road, where he was struck by a speeding container.
Driver questioned cab over wrong-side movement
The deceased, Sainath Chavan, worked as an ambulance driver at Pandit Bhimsen Joshi Hospital in Bhayandar. According to police, around 2am on Monday, Chavan was riding his motorcycle (MH04HV 7229) towards Bhayandar on the Mira-Bhayandar Road when a Hyundai cab (MH05JA 7025) allegedly approached from the wrong direction near Gandharva Bar. Chavan stopped the cab and questioned its driver, Sagar Samgistar (32), about driving against the flow of traffic. An argument followed, after which two passengers in the cab, Rakesh Chandivade (40) and Satish Asbe (33), allegedly got out and assaulted Chavan before pushing him onto the road. At the same time, a speeding container (MH58D7628) approached and ran over Chavan, killing him on the spot, police said.
