Police in
Maharashtra's Palghar district have obtained the
CCTV footage of the ill-fated
Mercedes car in which
Cyrus Mistry, former chairman of
Tata Sons, was travelling to Mumbai, shortly before it crashed, killing him and his friend, an official said on Monday.
The footage shows the car passing through the Dapchari check post in Palghar district at 2.21 pm on Sunday, he said.
The car hit a road divider on a bridge over the Surya river on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad Highway at around 3 pm, killing Mistry (54) and his friend Jahangir Pandole on the spot.
The police team probing the crash are examining the CCTV footage for further leads, the official said.
Another police officer said the person behind the wheel had covered a distance of 20km in just nine minutes, meaning the luxury car was being driven at a speed of 180-190 km per hour.
The car was being driven by Mumbai-based gynaecologist Anahita Pandole (55), a family friend of
Mistry, police have said.
She and her husband Darius Pandole (60) were seriously injured in the accident and are undergoing treatment in a Mumbai hospital.
The probe team will submit a detailed report which will be forwarded to Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, who has ordered an investigation into the road accident, he said.
