The Versova police in Mumbai have arrested two individuals in connection with the death of Ganesh Yadav, a 36-year-old rickshaw driver, who was fatally crushed by their speeding SUV on August 12. Ganesh Yadav was sleeping near Versova Beach in Mumbai when a speeding SUV ran over him, leading to his death, as reported by ANI.
The accused, Nikhil Jawale (34) and his friend Shubham Dongre (33), have been arrested, and a case of culpable homicide not amounting to murder has been filed against them.
According to reports, the police stated that the two suspects were brought before a local court in Andheri and have been remanded to five-day police custody for further investigation.

Srivastava was jolted awake by a sudden impact on his head and hand and then witnessed the speeding SUV running over his friend Ganesh, who was sleeping beside him.
