In a tragic Bandra West road accident, an eight-year-old boy named Ansh Gupta lost his life, just days before his birthday on September 2. The incident occurred when 45-year-old Megha Rawal, a health coach and nutritionist, allegedly ran over the boy while returning home. Eyewitnesses and Ansh’s family claim that Rawal was distracted by a phone call when her Innova Crysta struck him as he crossed the road.
Rawal was subsequently remanded in police custody for a day by a Bandra magistrate court, accused of culpable homicide. Police found no evidence of alcohol consumption, but her blood sample is undergoing forensic analysis. Authorities are also collecting CCTV footage, call detail records, and verifying Rawal's driving license and vehicle registration.
Ansh's parents, Arvind and his mother, have demanded justice, with the father alleging that the vehicle hit their son twice. Defense lawyer Amar Paragonkar contends that the accident was an unfortunate event and opposes the culpable homicide charge, arguing that there was no intent or knowledge on Rawal's part.
