Mumbai: An 84-year-old man walking towards a mosque in Bandra died after being knocked down by a 19-year-old college student on an allegedly speeding bike on Tuesday.
Bandra police lodged an FIR against the student, Arfat Mohammed Samir Shaikh, issued a notice to him and released him pending his appearance for an inquiry.
They seized his bike worth Rs 3.5 lakh.
"The biker had a valid driving licence. His blood samples have been sent for an alcohol test," said a police officer.
The elderly man, Abdul Karim Ahmed Momin, headed for the evening prayer at the mosque, just 550m away from his home, when Shaikh, a Sewri resident, hit him near a restaurant. Momin sustained severe head injuries and a fracture in the right leg. Emergency services transported him to Bhabha Hospital in Bandra, where doctors referred him to Lilavati Hospital to consult a neurologist for the head injuries.
A police officer said Momin succumbed four hours later while undergoing treatment.
