The taxi owner, Abdul Rahim Abubaker Shaikh, on Friday told the special court that their union had approached the state government for compensation but there has been no response so far.

Taxi driver Mohammed Umar Abdul Ali and Hyderabad-based lawyer Laxminarayan Goyal who were travelling in the vehicle were killed in the explosion that took place on Western Express Highway at Vile Parle.
