All three accused, in connection with the case, were granted bail at surety of Rs 15,000 each.
The bail was granted a day after the Thane Police said that the special investigation team (SIT) arrested the “main accused, Ashwajit Gaikwad, and his two associates, Romil Patil and Sagar Shedge. The vehicle used in the crime was also seized.”
Priya Singh, 26, who claimed she was in a relationship with Gaikwad, had said she went to meet him on December 11. She said that he was “behaving strangely” and asked to talk to him in private.
“My boyfriend slapped me, tried to strangle my neck, I tried to push him away. He bit my hand, beat me, pulled my hair and his friend out of nowhere pushed me to the ground,” said Priya Singh said as she narrated the incident on Instagram.
She added that she ran to his car to get her phone and her bag and that’s when Ashwajit asked his driver to run her over. After running over her legs, they fled away from the site, she claimed.
Speaking about the matter to news agency ANI, Priya further said, “When I came to know (that he was married), he told me that they (his wife and him) were not together anymore, they had separated. He said that he wanted to marry me. I was staying with him for a long time.”
“When I went to meet him that night, he was with his wife. I was in shock when I went to talk to him, he got aggressive. We had a fight,” Priya added.
Meanwhile, Ashwajit Gaikwad has claimed that Priya Singh was his friend and that he refuted all the allegations made by her. Gaikwad called the entire incident an attempt to “extort money”, as per sources.
