Hit and run case registered against unknown driver
“There were no cameras in the area and the friend has not yet given information about how exactly this accident happened. However, we suspect that Priya’s scooter may have been hit by a vehicle passing on the road. Therefore, a case of hit-and-run against the unknown driver has been registered,” said a senior official from Dahisar police station.
