Overview
- An electrical accident at Film City on June 17 killed 42‑year‑old carpenter Chandrabhan (also reported as Chandradhari) Singh Yadav and reportedly injured other crew members.
- Sanjay Leela Bhansali Productions has offered the family Rs 40 lakh in aid, FWICE has asked the production to raise that to Rs 50 lakh, and AICWA is demanding Rs 1 crore; the family’s public response has not been reported.
- FWICE president N. Tiwari said the federation will step up inspections and framed the case within a wider problem of technicians routinely working 16–20 hour days despite a 12‑hour limit.
- AICWA president Suresh Gupta called the death a "murder," urged an FIR naming Bhansali, and cited earlier alleged on‑set deaths linked to Bhansali productions while demanding comprehensive fire and safety audits.
- No public FIR or independent audit has been reported so far, and the case could prompt legal action, formal safety reviews of sets, and fresh pressure on producers over worker protections and compensation for victims’ families.
