Yesterday a convoy carrying the UK Conservative party leader David Cameron (from a slum literacy project in Mumbai to a lunch meeting at the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel) hit Prema Naik, a factory worker in the city. Cameron's car was ahead of the minibus that was involved in the accident and he was not aware of the incident till later.

Naik's condition was described as "serious" last night as she underwent treatment at the King Edward Memorial Hospital. Cameron said he was in shocked by the incident and promised that "the High Commission will also do all that it can to assist the victim and her family." The driver of the minibus was pulled out and beaten by a mob after the incident – a common occurrence in India.
