Janhvi Gadkar

Gadkar, whose Audi Q3 rammed into a taxi on the Eastern Freeway, killing two persons, had earlier tried to conceal her visit to The Irish House, telling police that after coming out from the hotel, she had spend two hours on Marine Drive before leaving for her house in her Audi Q3.

A senior police officer, who is supervising the investigations in the case, said, "The investigating team from the RCF police station had visited The Irish house on Thursday. There, they confirmed that Janhavi was present there with a friend.

We have collected the bill from The Irish House. After coming out from Hotel Marine Plaza, Janhavi had beer at Irish House." The policeman further added, "After paying the bill at Marine Plaza, she came out of the hotel and called her colleague, a senior Reliance executive, and reached The Irish House in about 20 minutes.
