Bengaluru, Apr 2: The Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce(KFCC) on Monday washed its hands of any responsibility towards Friday’s cylinder blast at a film shoot site, which left a 28-year-old woman and her four-year-old daughter dead.
“We can’t get involved in the matter. We can only arrange a meeting between the crew of the film Ranam and family members of the woman. But currently, their phones are switched off,” said KFCC president, SA Chinne Gowda.
Gowda’s statement comes after family members of Samina Banu and Ayesha Banu, who were killed in the blast, met KFCC office-bearers seeking justice. “It has been over four days since the incident took place but police and KFCC haven’t done anything to make the Ranam team accountable for the tragedy, which happened due to the crew’s negligence,” said Samina’s husband Tabrez Khan.
A tearful Tabrez said his wife and child meant the world to him and he was taking them to their aunt’s place when the tragedy occurred. “My younger daughter is traumatized and is longing for her mother. How do I handle this,” he asked.
Samina’s brother-in-law Munnavar Khan said since the incident, no one from the KFCC or film crew has shown sympathy to the family. “Not a single person from the Kannada film industry has spoken to us or consoled us,” rued Munnavar.
