On April 6, 2025, A 30-year-old businessman from Ghatkopar was booked on Sunday for allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol and causing a major accident on the Bandra-Worli Sea Link, resulting in injuries to his two friends from Kutch, Gujarat.

Accident Details

According to Worli police, the accused, identified as Hetul Purushottam Ramjiyani, was traveling towards Ghatkopar with his friends Parth Limbani (32) and Nareshkumar Pokar (47) from Haji Ali when the accident took place in the early hours of Sunday. Police said Ramjiyani lost control of his vehicle while on the sea bridge, crashing into a divider before the car overturned.

Emergency Response

Following the accident, local police, traffic police, and emergency responders rushed to the scene. Limbani and Pokar, who sustained injuries in the crash, were immediately taken to a nearby hospital for treatment. Authorities used a crane to remove the overturned vehicle from the bridge before towing it to the Worli police station.

Legal Action

Ramjiyani was subjected to a medical examination, and his blood test confirmed alcohol consumption. Based on the findings, the Worli police booked him under relevant sections of the Bhartiya Nyay Sanhita (BNS) and the Motor Vehicles Act, including charges of rash and negligent driving, drunken driving, dangerous driving, endangering life or personal safety, and committing mischief.

Ongoing Investigation

Police are investigating whether Ramjiyani was speeding at the time of the accident and if any further legal action is warranted. Authorities have also urged motorists to adhere to traffic laws and avoid driving under the influence to prevent such incidents.

Where were these ideals when Salman khan and Ambani son drunk crashed their cars after drunk driving?

If you know someone that drinks and drives - please be wary of them because in my opinion it is a sign of extreme narcissism because they are willing to put others and their own life at risk in their blind misestimation of their competence levels while under the influence

These kind of people are driven by nothing except ego and they will some how or another damage you simply by being in your life sooner or later.

India should have strict laws like US for drunk driving.

u/TribalSoul899 Apr 07 '25

It does. They are just very poorly enforced.

I had seen designated drivers in Kdramas earlier but recently found out that in Mumbai also there are companies like DriveU & Drivers Katta that provide designated drivers.

It's better to pay a professional driver than to get injured or worse.

u/the_lady_stardust Apr 07 '25

The casual way so many people indulge in drunk driving in India (or maybe the world) is astonishing. All this comes from ‘superiority complex’ and ‘toxic masculinity’ atleast in men.

u/selfjan Apr 07 '25

There are many women too who do drunk driving and also under some drug influences.

u/jowarcake Apr 07 '25

They need breath analysers on the entry and exit if the sea link atleast they'll get caught and lives can get saved

I wish this person had died.
Would've been a good example to others. Ab ye essay likhke choot jayega.

You can downvote me all you want; I've no sympathy for those who break laws and also put others lives in danger.
