A THREE-YEAR-OLD boy was run over by a car near Ambedkar College in Wadala on Saturday evening. Police arrested the car driver and took him for medical tests.
According to police, the boy, identified as Aayush Kinawade, was with his parents on the pavement and was playing when the Creta driver ran over him.
The locals overpowered the accused driver, identified as Bhushan Ghole (19), and handed him over to the police. The RAK Marg police registered an FIR and arrested Ghole.
Senior inspector S Randive of RAK Marg police station said they have taken the accused for medical tests to find out if he was under the influence of alcohol. An officer said the boy’s father Laxman Ramesh is a mandap decorator.
Randive said, “Prima facie, the driver does not appear to be under the influence of alcohol.”
The police checked whether the driver has a valid driving license and suspect that it was while taking a U-turn or reversing the car that the boy came under the four-wheeler.
