Ashfaque Hussain Mansoori, whose motorcycle got damaged in the accident, spoke to Mid-Day on Saturday. “The police should have seized the car, but they allowed them to drive away after the accident. Four or five motorcycles got damaged in the accident. Were they let off because they are rich?"

Hearing the loud thud after the accident, a few locals gathered at the site, according to a CCTV recording accessed by the police. A police constable is also seen in the footage.

Mansoori said some of his relatives began recording the aftermath of the accident when the occupants of the car also got out and began recording. "The police stopped my cousins from recording, and there was a scuffle between the two," the Bandra resident told Mid-Day.

A senior officer at Bandra police station said, “A 19-year-old boy Dhruv Nalin Gupta had been driving a Porsche car near Sadhu Vaswani Chowk when he lost control over the wheel and rammed into motorcycles parked along a footpath. No one is injured in the accident. We rushed the driver to a government hospital where his blood samples were taken to ascertain if he was driving drunk. We have registered a rash driving case against Gupta.”
