Hema Malini tweets to pay condolences to young accident victim

It may be recalled that, on Thursday, one two-year-old girl Chinni was killed while five others including Chinni's family members and Hema Malini were injured in a collision between an Alto car and Mercedes near Dausa. After the accident, the family had said that had Hema Malini took their daughter along to the hospital, the life of the two-year-old girl could have been saved. Police registered a case under appropriate sections of IPC including section 304-A (Causing death due to negligence) against the driver of Mercedes who was later released on bail.

After returning to Mumbai following a massive accident, the actress, in her tweet on July, 6, wrote, "How I wish the girl's father had followed the traffic rules-then this accident could have been averted and the lil one's life safe!" [sic] This came after Hema's daughter Isha Deol, on Saturday, had promised financial aid for the family while her mother got discharged from the hospital.

The tweet also came when State Human Rights Commission has taken a suo motto cognizance of the incident and has sought explanation from the district SP, Dausa, and the chief medical and health officer, Dausa.

Terming it an expected thing, Ashok Gupta, cousin of Hanuaman Khandelwal who is undergoing treatment along with his wife Shikha, son Somil and sister-in-law Seema, said to TOI, "My brother Hanuman knows his skills of driving. He is well versed with the Dausa-Bharatpur highway and had never met with an accident. The fact that he had never applied for insurance claim for his vehicle clears that he is good at driving. That day he was turning after seeing on his left. Suddenly the Hema Malini's Mercedes came and hit the Alto car badly."

"She could be a big shot but rather than at least praying for the speedy recovery of the family, she has entered into this blame game. I will request her to keep calm, take care of her injury and pray or our family as we have already lost a little girl," Gupta added.

A senior doctor taking care of the injured family members, said, "All of them have fatal injuries. The 5-year-old Somil has five fractures, his mother has four fractures and muscle raptures and his father, Hanuman who was driving also have serious injuries."

Hema's tweets:

"My heart goes out to the child who unnecessarily lost her life and the family members who have been injured in the accident."

"How I wish the girl's father had followed the traffic rules - thn this accident could have been averted & the lil one's life safe!"

Hema Malini is shocked with the number of people trolling her following the recent accident wherein a child died and she was injured. Says a source close to the actress-politician, “Hemaji is a very strong woman. But she is shaken by the way she is being portrayed as an offender who allowed the little girl in the accident to go medically unattended. When the accident took place she wasn’t even aware of what was happening and where she was being taken.”

Now, back in Mumbai with her family, Hema’s wounds are healing. “The injuries on her face will heal completely in two weeks. There’s unlikely to be any permanent scars. But the scars of public admonishment and ridicule will never heal,” says a close family friend, “She is with her family; her daughters and sons-in-law are with her. But she is saddened by the way she’s being made out to be an irresponsible citizen,” added the friend.

When contacted, Hema Malini simply said, “I am recovering at home. I am sure everything will be fine.”
