Former MP, ex-Army Brigadier booked after 41-year-old killed in Mumbai’s Khar road accident

On September 28 near CD Road and 16th Road in Khar West, Mumbai, a car driven by former Rajapur AAP MP and honorary Brigadier Sudhir Sawant collided with the motorcycle of 41-year-old BMC worker Iyappan Harijan, resulting in his death. Sawant, 71, was reportedly driving at high speed when the accident occurred. Harijan's wife, Nyansi, 37, who was a pillion rider, suffered injuries, while another rider, Rahul Ghanekar, also sustained a fracture in his hand after being hit by the car again.

Sawant, a resident of Khar, was returning home from Dadar at the time of the incident. The police have registered a case against Sawant, charging him with causing death by negligence and dangerous driving. Sawant is currently undergoing treatment for elevated blood pressure following the accident, and further legal action will be taken after his discharge.
