In a very shocking incident, the death of two people working as crew of a popular T show has come to light. Crew member Pramod, who worked as an Assistant Art Director on the sets of Savdhaan India, was killed in a bike accident that happened around 4.30 am on Saturday. The family is in uncontrollable tears at the Reay Road crematorium. A post mortem was conducted a few hours ago before Pramod’s body was handed over to his relatives.
Pramod was an AAD (Assistant Art Director) on the crime show Savdhaan India.
ETimes TV has it that Pramod was carrying yet another person from the unit, his helper, in the rear seat. The second person in question too was killed.
Dilip Pithwa, Former General Secretary of Art Directors’ Association, when contacted, confirmed and said, “It is a terrible thing that we have lost Pramod in such a manner. It was a 7 am shoot from Friday which was stretched till 3.30 am for the next day. Pramod was there from the morning. We don’t know the exact cause of the accident yet, though.”
B N Tewari, President of Federation of Western India Cine Employes (FWICE) added that they are sending a letter to the channel enquiring about the long hours of the shift in question. “Rajesh Tripathi will also be addressed. The letter is being typed. It will also be sent to the channel’s OTT platform,” he added.
