Bombay HC Issues Notice On Marathi Actor Urmila Kothare's Plea For Transfer Of Probe In Accident Case; Directs Preservation Of CCTV Footage
Live LawPopular Marathi actor Urmila Kothare, whose speeding car hit a labourer and killed him in December 2024, has approached the Bombay High Court seeking transfer of the probe to the Crime Branch of the Mumbai Police. The actor, who too sustained injuries to her chin and eyelid, has claimed that the unfortunate accident took place in Mumbai's Kandivali area only because the contractor, constructing a Foot Over Bridge outside the Poisar Metro Station, failed to put up any 'caution' or 'work in progress' board or signs. However, the police is trying to 'protect' the contractor as despite the petitioners repeated requests to the investigating officer to disclose the exact reason due to which the alleged accident took place and to provide the CCTV footage of the said incident, nothing of this sort has been done, the plea alleged. It appears that the alleged accident transpired due to the sheer negligence of the contractor, which was doing the Metro work on the Western Express Highway without any proper indication and safety norms.
