Kandivali West, Mumbai: In a shocking incident in Kandivli West, a 30-year-old man performing stunts in an autorickshaw died after hitting a parked tempo on Wednesday night. The victim, Bhushan Bandekar, a heavy goods vehicle driver from Malad, had been hanging out of the moving auto when the accident occurred around 10:30 PM.

Bandekar, who was already intoxicated, was on his way to Hindustan Naka with two friends for a get-together. According to the police, he started performing dangerous stunts inside the vehicle. As he hung out of the auto, he struck a stationary tempo and fell onto MG Road.

Unfortunately, Bandekar succumbed to his injuries the following morning. Bandekar's wife, Nandini, later filed a case against Shetty, accusing him of negligence and rash driving.
