According to Dindoshi Police, the victim, identified as Ramesh Jore, who was a resident of Ghatkopar, was returning from his sister’s condolence meet along with his nephew, Naresh, 18, on their Burgman bike around 2 am when a speeding four-wheeler struck their vehicle from behind on Dindoshi flyover.
