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.
Megastar Amitabh Bachchan says that no one had approved the title of his 1978 hit movie "Don" because the makers felt that the name was not fit for a title of a Hindi film.
Popular actress Hina Khan is set to make her debut at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival in style. She will not only walk the red carpet, but also be a speaker at the 72nd edition of the festival, which will run from May 14-25.
May 2019, he says, marks a "completely new phase" in his life, where unless something sparks the fire in his belly, he is happy chasing the goals he has set for himself.
Actor Arjun Kapoor, who will share screen space with Sanjay Dutt for the first time in "Panipat", says the 59-year-old is very humble and his nature is similar to that of a child.
