It all started when Bedi was returning from work on September 7 at night. The pedestrian, Rajesh Ramsingh Doot, was also coming back from work but was drunk. He suddenly came in front of Bedi's car, and before he could apply brakes, Doot was already hit, having sustained injuries to the back of his head. The accident happened in Andheri West near a temple.

"The incident occurred at 6:30 pm when my husband was returning from work and he was drunk. Actor Rajat Bedi, who was driving his car with license number MH 02 CD 4809, hit my husband when he was crossing the road." "He fell down, sustaining injuries to the back of his head," Babita Doot, wife of the deceased had said when the incident occurred.

The doctors who were treating Doot, a laborer, also had said that his condition is "too critical," and that "he is in the ICU and on oxygen support. He urgently needs blood." According to Bedi's manager Sridevi Shetty, the actor and his friends "arranged for that too, and was in the hospital till 12:30-1." Notably, it was Bedi who rushed Doot to Cooper.
