'Mahakali' actors Gagan Kang, Arjit Lavania killed in accident
Two actors of the TV serial 'Mahakali-Anth Hi Aarambh Hai' were killed when their car rammed into a trailer on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad highway near Palghar yesterday. Along with Gagan Kang (seen as Indra) and Arjit Lavania (seen as Nandi), their spotboy, yet unidentified, was also killed. Beer cans and food were recovered from the car. The car also seemed to be overspeeding, police said.
What happened?
Kang was driving the car, Lavania was seated beside him and the spotboy was seated behind. They were driving from their Umbergaon studio to their Goregaon home. At 11:15am, Kang lost control of the car and banged into a trailer parked on the roadside. They were killed on the spot. The trailer's driver was detained, but it was found he had broken no rules.
The NH8 has more than 45 'accident-prone' zones
The NH8, of which the Mumbai-Ahmedabad highway is a part, has over 45 spots that have been marked as accident prone zones. In June, a man and his son were killed when their bus hit a stationary trailer on the roadside. In April, three died when their car veered off the road and fell 10 feet. Meanwhile, police are awaiting autopsy report of the actors.
