According to the police, Chandrakant Bhaskar Bade, 37, a constable attached with the Vikhroli police station was on patrol along with other staff members on Beat Marshal number 3 in the early hours of Saturday.

While heading southbound on the EEH, he noticed a clean-up marshal heading in the same direction suddenly stopped in the middle of the road after a tyre of the vehicle came off. The driver got out of the vehicle without turning on the indicator and ran behind the tyre to catch it, a police officer said.

After checking Somoshi’s mobile phone, the police called his friend Ankush Tambe about the incident and the family was also informed about the incident.

A case under section 304 (A) (causing death by negligence) and 279 (rash driving) of the Indian Penal Code was registered against dumper driver Abdul Karim Shaikh, 23, a resident of Govandi. Shaikh was arrested in the case, a police officer said.
