The case was filed over 18 months ago on January 2022
Mahindra & Mahindra issued a statement about an FIR filed against Group Chairperson, Anand Mahindra and 12 others over ‘false assurances’ on car safety. The FIR was filed by Kanpur's Rajesh Mishra. He had bought the S9 variant of the Scorpio and gifted it to his son after being convinced of its safety features promoted by advertisements and social media posts by Mahindra. His son got into an accident and the airbags failed to deploy.
However, Mahindra has cleared the air on this incident and said that the case was over 18 months old, and the said incident happened in January 2022.
A Mahindra spokesperson said, “It was alleged that the vehicle did not have airbags. We would hence like to categorically reconfirm that the Scorpio S9 variant manufactured in 2020 did have airbags. We have investigated and there was no malfunction of the airbags. It was a rollover case which would not deploy the frontal airbags.A detailed technical investigation was completed by our teams in October 2022.”
Further more the company stated that the matter is currently sub judice and we are committed to cooperating with the authorities for any further investigation that is required.
