On June 17, Chandradhari Singh Yadav, a 42-year-old carpenter, died after suffering a severe electric shock at Royal Palms Studio in Mumbai’s Film City. Weeks after his death, AICWA has written a letter to CM Fadnavis, demanding Rs 1 Cr compensation
Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Love and War has found itself in hot water after the death of crew member Chandradhari Singh Yadav during the shoot of the movie in Mumbai. The recent update is that the All Indian Cine Workers Association (AICWA) is seeking an FIR against Bhansali and demanding compensation for Yadav's family.
The association has also written to Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, saying that the incident has raised serious concerns regarding the implementation of workplace safety.
In a letter posted on social media, AICWA president Suresh Shyamlal Gupta wrote to the Chief Minister that, despite it being a large-scale production house, mandatory safety norms were not followed.
"The incident has raised serious concerns regarding the implementation of workplace safety measures on film shooting sets. Despite the film being a large-scale production featuring prominent actors such as Ranbir Kapoor, Vicky Kaushal, and Alia Bhatt, mandatory safety norms were not followed on the set, resulting in the unfortunate death of a worker. Had the required safety measures been strictly implemented and enforced, this tragic incident could possibly have been avoided," the letter reads.
The deceased is survived by his wife and two minor daughters, and was the sole earning member of the family. His death has not only caused emotional trauma to them but has also brought financial hardship.
They have demanded Rs 1 crore in compensation to the Bereaved Family.
