Bandra, September 3, 2026 - The family of killed eight-year-old Ansh is seeking to prevent witness from testifying against their relative, nutritionist Megha Rawal, according to her defense lawyer. On August 30, Rawal was returning from a farmer's market when she allegedly caused the fatal accident, according to witnesses and the victim's family.
The sessions court has reserved the bail order for Saturday. Rawal's lawyer argued her case was an unfortunate accident, and there was no need for her to remain in prison. He also denied the culpable homicide charge, stating it was not applicable as it was merely an accident. Prosecution claimed witnesses saw Rawal using her phone while driving, which they argued demonstrated she was aware her actions could be dangerous.
The victim's family lawyer alleged the accused family had threatened a witness not to inform the police about what happened. He backed up his claim with video footage, pointing out that whereas the victim's family were impoverished hawkers, the accused family is wealthy. The defense requested the court to impose a restriction on Rawal's movement near Bandra to protect witnesses.
