The police have registered a hit-and-run case against the unknown driver of a car that ran over a 38-year-old merchant navy professional at Vile Parle on Sunday. The police said Mayur Jaywant Patil was riding his bike to a relative’s marriage function when a speeding car rammed him on the airport flyover along the Western Express Highway (WEH). The Vile Parle police are scanning CCTV footage to nab the driver.
Patil—a resident of Govardhan Society on NM Joshi Road at Lower Parel—was living with his wife Shamika, 35, and children Varun, 10, and Reeva, 2. He was on leave for three months to attend his cousin’s wedding. “On Sunday, the entire family attended the ‘haldi’ ceremony at Borivali. Mayur sent his wife and kids to the evening function and informed her that he would come there with a change of clothes for the kids,” his brother Milind said.
