Two days after a two-year-old lost three of his fingers in an escalator mishap, the Mulund police have registered a case of negligence. The police filed a First Information Report (FIR) against authorities and technicians in-charge of the escalator maintenance in the mall under IPC Section 338 (causing grievous hurt by act endangering life or personal safety of others). No arrests have been made yet.

Bhandup-based Rajiwade family visited R-Mall in Mulund on Tuesday evening with family friends when the incident took place. Two-year-old Chinmay Rajiwade left his father's hand upon reaching the ground floor of the mall and rushed towards the escalator. Before anyone knew, his right hand got stuck inside the escalator cutting off three of his fingers.
