A vehicle from Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar’s security entourage was reportedly involved in a road accident in Mumbai’s Juhu area late Monday night, leaving an autorickshaw driver seriously injured. The incident, which occurred around 8:30–9 pm near Mukteshwar Road, has prompted a police investigation and raised concerns after visuals from the crash site went viral online.

According to police officials, the accident took place when a speeding Mercedes car allegedly hit an autorickshaw, causing the three-wheeler to ram into another vehicle that was part of Akshay Kumar’s convoy. While the actor was not present in the vehicle at the time, members of his security team were reportedly inside the car involved in the collision.

Videos from the accident site soon surfaced on social media, showing the autorickshaw badly damaged and one of the cars overturned on its side. Locals and bystanders were seen rushing to help those involved, while the police and fire brigade worked to control the situation and restore traffic movement in the area.

The injured autorickshaw driver was immediately rushed to a nearby hospital for medical treatment. As per reports by ANI, his condition has been described as serious. Speaking to the portal, the driver’s brother appealed for assistance and compensation, highlighting the severity of the situation.

“My brother’s rickshaw was completely destroyed. His condition is serious. Our only request is that my brother gets proper medical treatment, the required medicines, and compensation is provided for the damaged rickshaw,” he said in a statement.

The Juhu police have registered a case of rash and negligent driving against the Mercedes car driver. Authorities confirmed that further investigation is currently underway to determine the exact sequence of events and responsibility for the accident.

In an official clarification, the police stated that neither Akshay Kumar nor any member of his family was present in the vehicle involved in the collision. “Only members of his security were reportedly in the car at the time of the accident,” officials said, adding that statements are being recorded as part of the probe.

Reports also mentioned that the convoy was escorting the actor’s wife, Twinkle Khanna, home from the airport after an overseas trip when the accident occurred. However, both Akshay Kumar and Twinkle Khanna have yet to issue any public statement regarding the incident.

Akshay Kumar, like several other high-profile Bollywood celebrities, is provided with personal security due to his public stature and past threat inputs. While exact security arrangements are not disclosed, the actor is often seen moving with official guards during public appearances and travel.

As the investigation continues, authorities are expected to examine CCTV footage and eyewitness accounts to establish accountability. Meanwhile, the focus remains on the recovery of the injured driver and ensuring that due process is followed in addressing the incident.
