Akshay Kumar's Security Vehicle Involved in Serious Mumbai Accident
A vehicle belonging to Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar's security team crashed in Mumbai late Monday night. The incident occurred in the upscale Juhu area, leaving an autorickshaw driver with significant injuries.
Details of the Juhu Collision
The accident happened around 8:30 to 9:00 PM on Monday near Mukteshwar Road in Juhu. According to police reports, a speeding Mercedes car from Akshay Kumar's security convoy struck an autorickshaw. The impact forced the three-wheeler to crash into another vehicle that was part of the actor's escort team.
Viral videos from the scene showed dramatic footage of the aftermath. The autorickshaw appeared completely smashed in the clips. Another car from the convoy lay overturned on its side. Local residents and bystanders rushed to assist those trapped in the vehicles. They worked alongside police and fire brigade personnel to right the overturned car.
Autorickshaw Driver Hospitalized with Serious Injuries
The autorickshaw driver sustained multiple injuries in the violent collision. Emergency services immediately transported him to a nearby hospital for urgent medical treatment. His brother told reporters that the driver's condition remained serious.
"My brother's rickshaw was completely destroyed," the brother stated. "His condition is serious. Our only request is that my brother gets proper medical treatment, the required medicines, and compensation is provided for the damaged rickshaw."
Police Investigation and Legal Action
Juhu police have registered a formal case against the Mercedes driver. Authorities charged the driver with rash and negligent driving under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code. The investigation continues as police gather more evidence and statements from witnesses.
Police officials confirmed that neither Akshay Kumar nor any family members were present in the vehicles involved in the crash. Only security personnel occupied the cars at the time of the accident. The convoy was reportedly escorting the actor's wife, Twinkle Khanna, home from the airport following an international trip.
Akshay Kumar's Security Arrangements
Akshay Kumar maintains personal security similar to other high-profile Bollywood celebrities like Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan. The actor's security detail stems from his substantial public profile, political visibility, and occasional threat perceptions. Security agencies assigned protection to Kumar after receiving specific threat inputs, though exact security protocols remain confidential.
Observers have noted the actor moving through Mumbai with uniformed security guards on multiple occasions. Most recently, journalists spotted Kumar with his security team when he went to vote during last week's BMC elections.
Awaiting Official Statements
Neither Akshay Kumar nor his wife Twinkle Khanna has publicly commented on the accident. The police investigation continues to determine the exact circumstances that led to the collision. Authorities will likely release more details as they complete their preliminary findings.
