A key witness in the sensational BMW hit-and-run case on Thursday identified in the city court, the main accused Sanjeev Nanda, grandson of former naval chief S M Nanda, facing trial for allegedly mowing down five people with his car in January, 1999.
Sunil Kulkarni, a Mumbai-based trader and an eyewitness to the incident in which Sanjeev along with three others is facing trial, also said that he had given a different version about a particular point owing to pressure from the police.
On being asked whether he could identify those who alighted from the offending car after the incident, Kulkarni pointed fingers towards Sanjeev Nanda who was wearing a white shirt.
“One of the persons is standing in the court room and he is wearing a white shirt,” he said.
Kulkarni was earlier discarded by the court as unreliable but was brought back as witness on a plea by the prosecution.
