A high-end SUV registered under film star Salman Khan's younger brother- actor and film producer Arbaaz Khan- ran over a 70-year old homeless woman sleeping on a pavement, killing her on the spot on Sunday night, in the posh locality of Bandra (west.)
Police said that the Land Cruiser driven by film maker Sohail Khan's driver Dhananjay Pimple, failed to spot the woman identified as Chandan Bala, sleeping on the pavement using a plastic cover as a blanket. Putting a rest to rumours, police said that neither Arbaaz nor his younger brother Sohail were present in the vehicle.
According to the police, the accident occurred around 11 pm and was witnessed by patrolling constables who along with Pimple rushed Bala to hospital where she was declared brought dead.
Pimple later surrendered before the police and submitted himself to medical tests for alcohol consumption. According to police, initial reports indicate that the driver was not drunk.
Later in the day, Sohail Khan told media that the car which is usually used by him was coming back from his father's house when the accident occurred.
