The person who was injured in the accident was none other than Satish Dandare (33), who has been accused by a National TV Channel Reporter and Mass Communication student of allegedly raping her on repeated occasions upon the false promise of marriage. Dandare was rushed to Mayo Hospital but his relatives shifted him to Lata Mangeshkar Hospital in Wanadongri. In another twist to the “Rape episode,” the sources said the girl is a divorcee and has a daughter. Now, the focus will be on the course of direction the episode would take and the truth.

The Sitabuldi Police Station has already registered an FIR after the girl had lodged a complaint of rape allegedly by Satish Dandare. However, the accident has left the speculations rife whether Satish tried to commit suicide to escape embarrassment of arrest?
