In Bandra, Mumbai, a court has denied bail to nutritionist Megha Rawal in the death of an 8-year-old boy, Ansh. The accident occurred on August 30 when Rawal's vehicle struck Ansh as he crossed the road. Witnesses and Ansh's family alleged that Rawal was using her mobile phone at the time of the incident. The sessions court, presided over by special judge AD Kshirsagar, considered the prosecution's argument that Rawal's culpable homicide was not due to murder but rather an accident.
The court dismissed this claim, stating that the defendant's use of a mobile phone while operating a vehicle on a busy road was an invitation to trouble. Additionally, the court examined concerns raised by Ansh's father regarding alleged witness tampering by the family members of the accused. Video evidence and an application for witness security were presented to the court.
The judge ruled that due to the nature of the allegations and the ongoing investigation, it would not be appropriate to grant bail to the accused at this time.
