MUMBAI: Late on Monday night
in Mumbai, a woman locked herself in her car during a drink driving check,
forcing a group of policemen to take desperate measures.
The woman
was stopped in the upscale suburbs of Bandra by policemen who suspected she was
drunk. When her test showed more alcohol than permitted, she allegedly rushed
into her car and locked herself in.
For at
least two hours, she sat in the car, playing loud music. The police claim she
abused officers and threatened them.
Finally,
when all else failed, the police smashed a window to force open the car.
Cigarette butts and disposable glasses were found in the car.
After
being pulled out by policewomen, the woman tried to escape. Footage showed her
chasing media crew gathered at the spot and shouting abuses while being dragged
into a car by the police. She was booked and fined before being allowed to go.
Last
week, two people died when 35-year-old lawyer Janhavi Gadkar rammed a taxi with
her Audi SUV in an allegedly drunken state. Ms Gadkar had been driving
recklessly on the freeway, at a very high speed with music blaring before the
crash.
Senior
police officers then announced that there would be stringent drink driving
checks across the city.
