The entire incident was captured in the building’s CCTV footage which makes for shocking viewing. Mahua told the police that around 5:30 pm, her other son, Avyan, called her via intercom, saying, “Anvya’s leg has been crushed.”

Mahua and her husband, Anshuman, rushed to the spot and found their son in pain, sitting on the ground with his injured leg. Shweta Shetty-Rathod, is the wife of the building secretary, Sanjay Rathod.

Boy Undergoes Surgery At Kokilaben Hospital

Anvay was first taken to a nursing home in Evershine Nagar, Malad West. The doctor there advised the parents to shift him to Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital in Andheri West for advanced treatment.

The doctors at Kokilaben Hospital confirmed that Anvay had suffered fractures in his left ankle and shin, and surgery was required. He is currently undergoing treatment at the hospital.

Police Register FIR Under Multiple Sections

Based on Mahua Majumdar’s complaint, the Bangur Nagar police registered a case under Section 281 (rash driving or riding on a public way) and Section 125(b) (act endangering life or personal safety of others) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, along with Sections 184 (driving dangerously), 134(a) (failure to render medical aid), and 134(b) (failure to report the accident within 24 hours) of the Motor Vehicles Act.

Complainant Alleges Intentional Act

Mahua further alleged, “Shweta Shetty-Rathod did it intentionally, as the exit is on the right side, but she drove towards the left, which is known to be the children’s play area. In the FIR, it is mentioned that she offered to bear the medical expenses, but she never said anything about it in reality. The police did not record my statement correctly. She has not even made a single call to inquire about Anvay’s health. Moreover, her husband, Sanjay Rathod, had earlier raised his hands at my husband and even at the watchman. He has abused me several times and threatened that he would not let our family live peacefully. I was the former secretary of the society, and Sanjay Rathod is the current secretary, so he holds a grudge against us.”
