The incident took place around 6pm at Dosti Plaza on 90 Feet Road, opposite China Town Hotel. According to police, Abdul and his elder brother were walking in front of the building when a white-coloured aggregator cab entered through the gate.

The elder brother managed to move away after seeing the approaching cab, but Abdul, being only one year old, could not. Police said the driver allegedly drove rashly and the vehicle’s front-left wheel ran over the child’s chest, leaving him seriously injured.

Abdul’s uncle, Javed Patel, witnessed the incident and rushed him to Paramount Hospital in Sakinaka in the same cab. Doctors there advised the family to take him to Axon Hospital, which later referred him to Seven Hills Hospital in Andheri East.

Sakinaka police registered a case under Section 106(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita for causing death by negligence. The driver, Mohammad Rizwan, 29, a Ghatkopar resident, was arrested by the police and later released after being served a notice.
