Rahul Rawail incensed over son's accident

Producer-director Rahul Rawail’s 24-year-old son Bharat was hit by a speeding tempo on Tuesday evening and was seriously injured. Bharat underwent a surgery yesterday afternoon. Rahul Rawail said, “My son went to Siddhivinayak Temple on Tuesday evening and had parked his car on the road opposite the temple.
After darshan, Rahul was walking towards his car when a tempo overtook another vehicle from the left and accidentally hit my son.
Some bystanders and his colleague rushed him to the hospital. Rahul has injuries all over his body. The good part is that his surgery was successful and he is recuperating now.”
Saying that he was very upset with the manager of the restaurant the tempo belonged to, Rahul Rawail said, “Anir, the restaurant manager, came to meet me at the hospital and requested me not to file a police complaint as it would spoil their reputation. He even offered me money — it was so disgusting.
The simplest thing to do was apologise for what had happened rather than worry about the restaurant’s reputation. He started abusing the tempo driver in front of me. I don’t care. I have filed a police complaint and they are waiting to record my son’s statement. These people should be punished.”
Jayendra Sawant of Dadar Police Station, said, “The driver has surrendered. A case will be filed after the statement is recorded.”
