Mumbai, Nov 27 (IANS) Filmmaker Ashwini Dhir’s son, Jalaj Dhir, has tragically passed away in a fatal car crash in Mumbai.
The incident occurred early on November 23 on the Western Express Highway in Vile Parle.
Jalaj Dhir, 18, was out for a drive with three of his friends—Sahil Mendha, Sarth Kaushik, and Jedan Jimmy, all also 18. According to reports, Sahil, who was driving the car at the speed of 120–150 km per hour, was under the influence of alcohol when he lost control of the vehicle near the Sahara Star Hotel. The car crashed into a divider, leading to the tragic accident.

Sahil and Jedan survived the accident with minor injuries, while Jalaj and Sarth, who were seated in the back seat, sustained severe injuries. Both were rushed to the hospital, but tragically, they succumbed to their injuries. Initially, Jalaj was taken to a hospital in Jogeshwari East before being transferred to Kokilaben Hospital, where he was declared dead by doctors.
Following Jedan’s complaint, the Mumbai Police arrested Sahil. His blood samples have been sent for testing. The last rites of Jalaj were performed on November 24.
