According to the earlier reports, the police control room received the initial report of the incident around 10 am, with the caller describing a man lying in a pool of blood on the bridge road. Responding swiftly, personnel from the Navghar police station reached the scene. They found a youth, identified as Sumit Kevalkumar Gore, in a bloodied state beside his bullet motorcycle. Nearby, a toppled auto-rickshaw with its driver, Vedprakash Sukhlal, 58, and two injured passengers were also present.

The auto driver, Sukhlal, confirmed to the police that he had lost control of his vehicle, causing it to collide with the motorbike. Promptly, the injured biker was transported to Savarkar Hospital in Mulund, along with the two injured passengers. Unfortunately, despite efforts, Gore was pronounced dead by the hospital authorities at 11:30 am.
