Gandhidham hit-and-run accused arrested from Rajasthan

Son of a Dubai-based businessman, who is alleged to have killed three person with his SUV at Gandhidham in Kutch district, has been arrested today from neighbouring Rajasthan.
Pankil Mohatta (25), was apprehended from Abu Road early this morning when he arrived at his relative's house, police said.
"We had alerted the police in Palanpur, Ahmedabad and Abu Road where his relatives live as we thought he might visit them," said Kutch (East) Superintendent of Police G V Barot.
The accused's blood sample was sent for analysis to ascertain if he was driving under influence of liquor or drug on Monday night when his SUV rammed a group of people killing three and injuring two others.

The incident took place near the main gate of IFFCO Colony on the Gandhidham-Kandla Road after which Pankil fled from the spot.
"Pankil was behind the driving wheel when the accident took place," Barot said.
His father, Sunil Mohatta, is into export-import business and resides in Dubai, while Pankil stays with his grandparents in Gandhidham, around 250km from here, police had said.
