A ‘simple’ mishap

The lawyer of Bollywood actor Prateik Babbar, who was booked for dangerous driving after his vehicle knocked down a motorcyclist and entered a oneway street in Goa’s Porvorim, said on Friday that the accident was a simple mishap.

The statement comes a day after the police closed the accident case, involving the actor and a resident, following a mutual agreement.

“It was a simple mishap. There were no injuries caused to anyone or anything whatsoever. All the reports alleging rash and negligent driving as well as assault are absolutely untrue and solely aimed at maligning my client’s reputation. All the medical tests conducted on my client were negative thereby demolishing all the unfounded allegations,” lawyer Vibhav Amonkar said in a statement.
