The Kasarvadawli police searched footage from almost 50 CCTVs from Thane to Vasai in search of a tanker, whose driver allegedly dashed against a Scooty on Sunday, killing a girl in Thane. He was arrested early on Thursday. Police said the girls, Priyanka Zende, a resident of Lokmanya Nagar, and Tanvi Bolade, a resident of Yashoda Nagar, both 22, were friends since childhood.

'Tanker dashed Scooty'
On Sunday at 8.30 am, in the rains, they decided to go to the under-construction chowpatty at Ghodbunder. A police official from Kasarvadawli police station said, "On Sunday around 11.30 am we received a call about the accident. The girls who had recently joined different IT companies, were returning home when a gas tanker dashed Bolade's Scooty, which she was riding. They slipped and pillion rider Zende came under the tanker's left side tyres. She died on the spot while Bolade escaped with minor scratches on her hand."
