The deceased were identified as Virendra Singh, 26, from Khar Danda and Atul Kharose, 45, a Kanjurmarg resident. In both cases, the police have arrested the offending drivers; one of them was later released on bail.
MUMBAI: Five years after a 30-year-old man from Mazgaon was arrested on charges of being an illegal immigrant from Bangladesh, a magistrate’s court this week acquitted him after it found his birth certificate showed he was an Indian citizen.
The police had raided a shop in Dongri and booked the man in 2016 after receiving “secret information” that Bangladeshi nationals were residing there illegally. “I have arrived at the conclusion that prosecution utterly failed to prove that accused being Bangladeshi infiltrator had entered into India without having valid document of travel through unauthorised route and stayed here,” the court said.
