Mumbai, Jun 19 (PTI) A 22-year-old woman, allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol, assaulted a police officer during a routine vehicle checking in Bandra (West) in the early hours of Friday.
The incident took place in K C Road area, said an official of Bandra police station.
When the police intercepted the woman’s car and asked her to undergo a breathalyzer test, she initially refused and began arguing, he said.
A breathalyzer test confirmed the presence of alcohol in her system. A male driver, who was an acquaintance of the woman, was also tested at the same spot and found to be intoxicated.
The two began abusing the police personnel and the woman allegedly shoved a police officer and proceeded to kick and punch him.
When other officers attempted to intervene, she reportedly scratched him with her nails, causing injuries.
Both were detained and taken to the Bandra Police Station, where they reportedly continued to create a ruckus. The accused were subsequently sent to a hospital for medical examinations, and their blood samples have been collected for further analysis.
The police registered a case against the duo for obstructing a public servant in the discharge of their duties, assaulting police personnel and driving under the influence of alcohol. Investigation is underway, the official added. PTI ZA KRK
