Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan had a miraculous escape in Kolkata last week when one of the rear wheels of his Mercedes got detached, prompting the state government to show-cause the travel agency from where the car was provided, a senior official has said. Bachchan was accompanied by a senior state minister in the car. “The car was provided by a travel agency and we have show-caused it over the incident,” he said adding that the agency was paid a huge amount for transporting the superstar. According to a source in the secretariat, “proper action” might be taken against the agency if “any fault” on their part was found. After the accident, the superstar was taken to the airport in the minister’s vehicle that was following the Mercedes, a senior official of the Kolkata Traffic Police said.
