The Ghatkopar police have arrested a truck driver involved in a hit-and-run case that claimed a youth's life on Sunday morning. His truck hit a motorcycle from behind near the Excel
Arcade building on LBS Marg, killing a 23-year-old man and severely injuring a woman who was riding pillion. The driver, Ajaykumar Mourya, 34, was arrested after he surrendered himself to
the Ghatkopar police on Sunday evening. According to the police, Sanjay Jaysingh Makwana, a resident of Sakinaka, and his friend Bhavna Patel, 18, a resident of Ghatkopar, were on a
motorbike which was hit by the truck around 5.30 am, causing Makwana to lose his balance and fall. "The truck dashed the motorbike with so much of force that Makwana suffered injuries
on his hands and head while Patel sustained injuries near her left eye," said an officer from Ghatkopar police station. "The driver of the truck stopped the vehicle and fled from
