HYDERABAD: Banjara Hills police on Saturday arrested Utsav Dixit, stand-up comedian and head of sustainability and strategic management at Alpla India Private Limited, in connection with his luxury sports car ramming into the wall of the KBR Park on Friday.
Dixit had also started Deccan Comedy to gather local comedians and put them on the global map.
With regard to the missing registration plate for the car, police said Dixit noticed that it had broken during the collision. He placed the pieces in the dickey of the vehicle and left the spot.
An expert with the luxury car dealership explained that the accidents involving high-end cars are not caused by the driver alone. The driver should be aware of the aerodynamics, tyres, servicing and car performance, he said.
Police said that Dixit had left the house reportedly after a domestic issue, and was going to distribute sweet boxes to fellow stand-up comedians. Police produced him before a court under the Prevention of Damage to Public Property Act.
