Juhi Mehta, the COO of a digital media company, collided her BMW with another vehicle in Vile Parle West
She was released on bail later that day.
Hake told police that he feared being run over and eventually moved out of the car’s path. The constable then signalled to a bystander to record the incident. The video shows the uniformed policeman repeatedly asking Mehta to wait until other police personnel arrived, while she presses the accelerator. The bystander recording the incident also knocked on the car’s window and asked her to stop, but she allegedly continued driving. Mehta also began filming the confrontation. Mehta then allegedly sped away towards JVPD Junction. Police registered an FIR under provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) relating to intimidation, acts endangering life or personal safety, and the use of criminal force to deter a public servant from discharging his duty.
Juhu police arrested her on Saturday, and she was released on bail later that day. Hake subsequently approached Juhu police station on Saturday and lodged a complaint. Police traced Mehta using the BMW’s registration number and arrested her on Saturday.
