MUMBAI: The Pant Nagar police on Monday arrested BJP MLA Prakash Mehta from Ghatkopar and 15 party workers for allegedly setting a towing van on fire and rioting on November 3, 2011, after it crushed a 50-year-old tax consultant while he was returning from a temple. The 16 arrested were produced before a local court and released on bail.

The arrests were made based on what CCTV footage showed and witnesses said when Mehta and his party workers allegedly went on the rampage after Ghatkopar (E) resident Kirit Mehta was crushed between a parked tempo and a speeding towing van on 60-Feet road. "Mehta came forward and confessed that he staged the protest after the victim was killed by the rash motorist, who was driving the van in an inebriated condition. The arrest was made after collecting proper evidence," said additional commissioner of police (East) Quaiser Khalid.

Ramchandra Durgawale told the police that he was standing near his tempo after delivering goods at some general stores in the neighbourhood when the eeding towing van rammed into his vehicle and crushed Kirit.

The mob set the van on fire and also allegedly manhandled the traffic constable accompanying the driver. "Mehta and 15 others were produced in the Vikhroli court and released on bail. They were booked for unlawful assembly, rioting, assaulting a public servant, not allowing him to perform his duty and damaging property," said senior inspector Suresh Nirmal.
