camera assistant got electrocuted
On November 14, apprentice camera assistant Ajit Kumar died due to accidental electrocution on the sets of 'Anupama' in Film City. He had accidentally picked up the light rod and camera together and was not even wearing slippers for safety. The DOP (Director of Photography) present on the set called it 'human error'. After the incident, Ajit was taken to the hospital and given immediate treatment, but unfortunately we could not save him.
He further said that we immediately arranged flight tickets to bring Ajit Kumar's family from Patna to Mumbai. We took full responsibility of his hospital and medical expenses. Apart from this, we helped the family to return to Patna and also gave compensation. The insurance amount will be given to their nominee.
We will take action against those spreading rumours.
The safety and well-being of all our team members has always been our priority. This accident is a big shock for us. We pray to God that Ajit Kumar's soul rests in peace. He further said that some people are spreading rumors regarding this incident. We give a clear warning that if this is not stopped then we will take strict legal action against such people.
