Mumbai/IBNS: Shabana Azmi's driver has been booked after the veteran actress was injured in a car accident on Mumbai-Pune Expressway on Saturday.

Azmi's driver has been identified as Amlesh Yogendra Kamat.

According to police, the FIR was lodged after the truck driver, whose vehicle was hit from behind by Azmi's car, registered a complaint.

"Due to rash driving by the driver, the car hit the moving truck on the Pune-Mumbai Expressway which resulted in the accident," the FIR copy read.
