Model in car knocks down bike, cop hurt

While actor Salman Khan, a friend of the model according to the police, was spotted at the scene of the accident, the police rubbished speculation that he was travelling with the model in the car.

Joint Commissioner of Police (Law and Order) K L Prasad said, “From photographs taken after the accident, it is clear that Khan was at the scene. However, officers at Worli police station have informed me that he was not in the Maruti Swift and has no role in the accident.”

A statement released by Salman Khan reads, “I was driving back after pack-up when I saw a huge crowd at Worli Junction. I asked around and found out that there had been an accident. I got out to see if anybody needed help. That was all.”

“After the accident, Chandi Ramani, a friend of Clarke’s who was travelling with her in the car, helped Suryavanshi into the Swift and drove him to Nair Hospital, leaving Clarke behind at the scene of the accident. Soon, a large crowd had gathered. Salman Khan, who is a friend of Clarke’s and was passing by, spotted her. He got out of his car and pacified the people. We asked Khan to leave after people started gathering at the spot just to see him,” said Warlikar.
