Former cabinet minister and senior NCP leader Nawab Malik’s son-in-law, Sameer Khan, was critically injured on Tuesday after being hit by his own driver outside Criticare Hospital in Kurla. The driver had arrived in a Mahindra Thar to pick up Khan and his wife after a routine check-up.

According to the police, the accident occurred on Tuesday morning when Khan, accompanied by his wife, Nilofar, visited Criticare Hospital for a check-up. Sources close to the family stated that after the appointment, Khan tried calling his driver. When the driver didn’t answer, a security guard was sent to inform him. The driver, who had been asleep, rushed to the car in a hurry.
