The accident occurred in Sept outside Criticare Hospital in Kurla, where Khan and his wife, Nilofar, had been waiting for their driver after a routine check-up. According to Kaptan Malik, Nawab Malik’s brother, the driver, Abdul Ansari, was asleep inside the vehicle and the driver accidentally accelerated instead of braking when alerted by a security guard. This mistake led SUV to move forward, pushing Khan approximately 10-15 feet and pinning him against the boundary wall of a nearby SRA building.
