Police had questioned witnesses and obtained reports from the RTO (Regional Transport Office) and Mercedes Benz India Pune.
Police had earlier said Mistry and Jehangir Pandole were not wearing seat belts. Prima facie, over-speeding and the "error of judgement" by the driver caused the accident, they had said.
Anahita Pandole, a gynaecologist, was discharged from a Mumbai-based hospital after undergoing treatment for 108 days in December.
