Mumbai Court Denies Bail to Nutritionist in Bandra Child Death CasePreviousNext

A Mumbai sessions court denied bail to nutritionist Megha Rawal, accused of fatally hitting eight-year-old Ansh Gupta in Bandra on August 30. The prosecution cited ongoing investigations, including CCTV footage and witness statements, and alleged Rawal was using her phone while driving at high speed. Rawal denied these claims, describing the incident as an unintentional accident and asserting she was not on a call. The victim's family raised concerns about witness intimidation and requested police protection.
