A 2.5-year-old boy named Krishiv Mandavia tragically lost his life after being hit by a car while riding his tricycle in Borivali West, Mumbai. The accident occurred on Wednesday night around 9:45 pm near Om Shanti Chowk on Chandavarkar Road. Witnesses reported that Krishiv and his mother, Riddhi, were crossing the road after having dinner when the incident took place.
According to police, a Kia car was passing by when a red SUV, allegedly traveling at high speed, approached during a U-turn and collided with the tricycle. The force of the collision was so severe that Riddhi fell onto the road, while the tricycle was dragged towards the Kia car, which in turn struck the left side of the Kia between its two doors.
Krishiv's tricycle became trapped between the two vehicles, causing him to suffer serious head injuries and multiple injuries across his body. Despite being taken to a nearby private hospital, doctors declared Krishiv dead before he could be transferred to Shatabdi Hospital in Kandivali West. Police registered a First Information Report (FIR) against the accused, Dr. Sameer Parekh, 48, a resident of Borivali West, under multiple sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the Motor Vehicles Act.
On Thursday, the accused was produced in court and granted bail without requiring any bond. His defense attorney, Pradipkumar Vishwakarma, stated that the allegations were false and that Dr. Parekh had taken the child to a hospital and attempted CPR after the accident. The family is devastated by the loss of their cheerful and playful son, who was born in 2024 and will not be able to celebrate Diwali with them this year.
