Ansh Gupta was crossing a road in Bandra when the SUV ran him over
They argued that there were also no grounds to invoke Section 105 (culpable homicide not amounting to murder)—a stringent charge usually reserved for extreme recklessness such as drunk driving. DCP (west zone-2) Mohit Garg said Rawal had rushed Ansh in the SUV to a hospital after the accident.
Opposing further police custody, her lawyers, Ankita Singh and Bhavya Shah, said no call data record (CDR) had established that she was on a call while driving or at the time of the accident. As Rawal was being escorted to a police vehicle after the hearing, Ansh’s family charged at her. Police shielded Rawal and drove away while the family chased and banged on the vehicle. Concerned that an angry mob could damage it, Bandra police have moved Rawal’s SUV out of their station premises.
The magistrate, E T Ingale, rejected police’s request to extend accused Megha Rawal’s custody after investigators said they had found no further link or material during her one-day custody, which ended on Tuesday.
