Mumbai, Sep 7 (IANS) The Mumbai Police on Tuesday booked Rajat N. Bedi, an Indo-Canadian Bollywood actor and television producer for alleged rash and negligent driving which led to a serious accident, officials said here.
The incident occurred on Monday evening when Bedi was driving along the busy Sitladevi Temple Road in Andheri west and suddenly hit a local slumdweller, identified as a 39-year-old Rajesh Boudh.
Bedi stopped the car, picked up the victim and rushed him to the nearby R.N. Cooper Hospital for treatment where his condition is reported to be stable but critical.
Later, the actor went to the D.N. Nagar Police Station and reported the incident, stating that the victim was reportedly in a drunken state and abruptly came before his vehicle.
The police are checking the CCTVs in the vicinity and trying to speak with eye witnesses who can corroborate Bedi's claims, said a police official.
Meanwhile, the police have filed a case invoking sections of rash and negligent driving under the IPC and Motor Vehicles Act, against the actor.
Bedi is known for his role of a terrorist in the Sunny Deol-starrer "Hero: Love Story of a Spy", as Hritik Roshan's bete-noire in "Koi..Mil Gaya", and other films.
Actress Amrita Rao, who has collaborated with filmmaker Farah Khan in "Main Hoon Na", has said that she would like to work with the filmmaker again in her upcoming project, which is a remake of "Satte Pe Satta".
Bollywood divas are meant to be like Alia, isn't it -- with a flunky here to hold the umbrella, and another couple to take care of luggage. With one to hold the cellphone and another to mind the make-up kit.
While social media users are speculating about the situation in Kashmir after the abolition of Article 370 earlier this week, actress Huma Qureshi has requested all to be sensitive and refrain from making irresponsible comments at this hour.
