A 59-year-old software company director was killed when he was hit by a minor on a motorcycle outside Reliance Hospital.

Mumbai: A 59-year-old man died of his injuries three days after a minor hit him with his Royal Enfield Bullet motorcycle outside Sir HN Reliance Foundation Hospital. The victim, Pinaki Dey, was the director of Atos India, a software company. On Tuesday night, he had stepped out for dinner from Girgaon hospital – where his wife was admitted for surgery.

Dey was admitted to the same hospital after the accident and was on ventilator support for the last three days. The 16-year-old accused was served a notice and was not arrested. The bike belongs to one Hemant Gomane, who has been accused of driving a vehicle to a minor.

Dey was crossing the RR Road outside the hospital when a speeding bullet coming from Prathana Samaj towards Bata Junction hit him. Police said that after the collision, the minor bike driver had fled from the spot.

Eyewitnesses said that Dey was thrown away due to the impact and lost a lot of blood. Passersby did not realize who he was and took him to HN Reliance Foundation Hospital as the accident happened right outside. Someone from the hospital staff recognized him as a relative of the patient and informed the family.

Earlier, the accused were booked for rash and negligent driving under the Indian Judicial Code and Motor Vehicles Act. However, after Dey's death, police said they would add more charges to the FIR.
