According to the reports, Borkekar was riding pillion on a bike with his colleague Aditya Gaikwad. The two were heading towards their workplace near Hyundai Chowk in Khalumbre. The container truck was reportedly coming from Mumbai towards Chakan at high speed. The bike slipped while overtaking a truck, and Borkekar, who was sitting behind, came under the container's rear wheels. He died on the spot after suffering fatal injuries. Gaikwad sustained injuries in the incident.
Based on a complaint by Vijay Shankarrao Tantarapale, a case has been registered against container driver Mohammad Arman Kamaruddin Khan, a resident of Dharavi, Mumbai. He is originally from Balrampur district in Uttar Pradesh. The case has been filed at MIDC Police Station.
Police said that the road conditions in the area remain a major concern. The Talegaon-Chakan highway is narrow and often congested with traffic. It also has several potholes, which make daily travel dangerous for commuters.
Borkekar had reportedly asked Gaikwad for a lift to work as he was running late, but he never reached his workplace.
