VADODARA: Investigations and CCTV footage gathered as part of the probe into the accident on Thursday night that left a woman dead and seven others injured revealed that Pranshu Chauhan initially took the driver’s seat in his car but shifted to the adjoining seat, apparently at the insistence of the accused, Rakshit Chaurasiya.
The CCTV footage indicates that Chaurasiya reached the residence of a friend, Suresh Bharwad, on a scooter at 10:33pm, as per the time on the CCTV camera. Chauhan arrived at the place in the car involved in the accident at 10:47pm, the footage reveals.
At 11:03pm, both Chaurasiya and Chauhan left Bharwad’s residence. The footage reveals that Chauhan went and sat in the driving seat of his car. Chaurasiya, who was walking a few steps behind Chauhan, however, went to the driver’s side.
After this, Chauhan is seen shifting to the front passenger seat inside the car itself without stepping out of the vehicle. Chaurasiya then entered the car from the door on the driver’s side.
It is believed that the car sped towards the Sangam area from there and eventually mowed down three two-wheelers in Karelibaug later.
