On Wednesday afternoon, seven persons were injured after an app-based cab driver's friend lost control of his car in Ghatkopar.
While Santosh Yadav, driver of the cab, had given his car keys to his friend Raju Yadav to charge his mobile inside the car, as soon as he started the car, it accidentally started moving.
When Raju accidentally accelerated the car instead of applying breaks, he rammed into three autos and pedestrians.
