A 33-year-old Bhandup resident, Sajid Azmi, died in a hit-and-run accident on Tuesday near the Mangatram Petrol Pump area on Lal Bahadur Shastri Marg. Azmi was riding triple seat on a scooty with his close friends, Shahrukh Chaudhary and Zaid Shaikh, both residents of Pathan Colony in Bhandup, when they were struck by a tempo.

According to Chaudhary, the complainant in the case, the trio often met after dinner for a walk or a short ride. On Tuesday, Chaudhary spotted his friends near the petrol pump, and they went for ice cream before heading home.
