In yet another case of rash driving within Mumbai airport premises, Narendra Sajjanwar (21), died after being hit on the head by a concrete mixer truck on Saturday morning.


Sajjanwar, a construction worker, was employed with Larsen and Toubro, which is currently carrying out civil work under the Mumbai Airport modernization programme. The incident occurred near gate number 8 of the old airport part at Kalina.



S M Ghughe, senior inspector, airport police station informed that the concrete mixer, also belonging to Larsen and Toubro, was driven by Mahindra Rajballi (40) of Kurla at the time of the incident.


"A case under Section 304 of the Indian Penal Code u2013 culpable homicide not amounting to murder has been registered against Rajballi, who has been arrested," Ghughe said.

Accidents within the operational area of Mumbai airport have been on the rise during the past year.
