Thane MACT Awards Compensation in Autorickshaw Accident
In 2018, a man died in an autorickshaw accident.
A court called MACT has decided the man's family should get about 26 lakh rupees.
The accident happened because the driver was distracted, trying to pick up tobacco, and crashed into a tree.
The court found the vehicle owner responsible and rejected the insurance company's claim that the policy was fake.
The money is to cover things like lost income, future earnings, and funeral costs for the family.
