A senior Air India engineer was knocked down by a CISF vehicle in the premises of Chhatrapati Shivaji Domestic Airport on Saturday morning.

Shukla has been admitted to Seven Hills Hospital in Andheri. The incident took place at 10.35 am at Bay number Alpha 9, one of the designated paths for vehicles inside the airport premises. Cops said they are not aware exactly how the accident took place but they have seized the vehicle for RTO inspection.
According to eyewitnesses, who are Shukla's colleagues, his head was smashed against the windshield of the car following the collision. They told the Airport police that one of them then rushed Shukla to the hospital, whereas another person caught hold of Kumar, who was the only occupant of the car.
According to Shukla's colleagues, who requested anonymity, when Kumar got out of the car, he was holding a mobile phone, which indicates that he might have been talking on the phone while driving.
