Audi hit-and-run: Driver still untraced, police record eyewitness's statement

Bengaluru: Police are still searching for the driver of an Audi involved in a hit-and-run that killed a 45-year-old man and injured his wife and daughter.

On Thursday, Chikkajala traffic police recorded the statement of an eyewitness, a student at a nearby private college, to gain further leads.

Preliminary findings have ruled out drunk driving.

Mahesh Kumar, a garment factory worker, was killed while returning home with his wife Kala M, 38, and daughter Charvika, 13, after attending a wedding. The accident occurred around 8.50 pm on Tuesday.

The family, residents of Kodagalahatti, was travelling on an electric scooter when the car hit them on an interior road near the Padukone-Dravid Centre for Sports Excellence, about 7 km from the airport highway.

CCTV cameras in the area captured the accident, but the Audi's high-beam headlights obscured the vehicle's registration number, making identification difficult. Police are scanning footage from multiple routes to track the car's movement before and after the crash.
