The news agency report quoted a senior secretariat member, who said, "The wheel on the left rear-end of the Mercedes carrying Bachchan got detached from the vehicle on Dufferin Road when he was going to the airport to catch a flight for Mumbai. The car was provided by a travel agency and we have show-caused it over the incident." He also added that an initial investigation led to the discovery that the vehicle's "certificate of fitness" had expired.

Meanwhile, a video of Shah Rukh Khan, riding in the backseat of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's Santro, is being extremely loved by Twitter. In the video, Ms Banerjee drops SRK at the Kolkata airport after the KIFF event.
