Nagpur: The woman accused of causing the fatal accident in Gittikhadan was not remanded to police custody on Saturday after a court directed that she remain under medical care at Mayo Hospital until her condition improves.
Drunk Driving Incident Causes Multiple Casualties
A recent incident involving intoxicated driving resulted in a series of collisions on a city road. According to the First Information Report (FIR), the driver, identified as Bhuyan, was allegedly operating her vehicle recklessly when she struck two motorcycles, an autorickshaw, and another two-wheeler. The vehicle then hit a pedestrian, Harish Rewatkar, before crashing into a parked car belonging to the complainant.
In response to the police’s request for custody, Bhuyan’s defense team opposed the move, advocating for her transfer to magisterial custody instead.
Bhuyan appeared before the magistrate via video conference at around 4.40pm from Mayo Hospital. He later succumbed to his injuries during treatment, turning the accident into a fatal case. The investigating officer and the assistant public prosecutor sought police custody. They informed the court that blood samples collected from the accused had been sent for analysis and that the forensic report was still awaited.
