Vishal was nabbed on Tuesday
The accident which occurred in Pune, saw the juvenile smashing his Porsche into a bike, killing two people. Agarwal was nabbed early on Tuesday in Maharashtra’s Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar region.
Following the accident, an FIR was lodged against Vishal Agarwal, and the accused immediately made escape plans.
While on the run, Agarwal initially drove to his properties in Pune, including his farmhouse in Daund. He then went to Kolhapur and saw a friend.
Agarwal sent his driver and car to Mumbai to deceive the authorities, while he traveled to Sambhajinagar in a friend’s automobile. Throughout his escape from the cops, he mislead his family about his movements, claiming to be heading to Mumbai.
