The boy was rushed to Kokilaben Ambani Hospital in Andheri, where he required surgery for severe fractures to his left ankle and another bone. The vehicle involved was identified as a black Toyota Hyryder with license plate MH47B.T.3070.

The most serious allegation came in Majumdar’s supplementary statement on October 20, where she claimed the act was "intentional and purposeful". She alleged that the accused, who is the wife of the society secretary, drove "rashly and negligently" and over her son's leg out of a grudge stemming from a prior physical altercation between the two families' husbands.

According to the complainant, Shetty-Rathod was fully aware that children were playing and that her son was sitting on the ground, yet she proceeded to drive over him. She later did not make a single phone call to inquire about the child's health since the incident.

The FIR has been registered under stringent sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) 2023, including Section 281 and Section 125(b), along with relevant sections of the Motor Vehicle Act, against Shetty-Rathod. Bangur Nagar Police are currently investigating the serious allegations.
