Mumbai's N.M. Joshi Marg Police have registered an FIR against 22-year-old Rishabh Pintu Samar for allegedly driving a four-wheeler on the wrong side of the road and hitting a motorcycle at Curry Road Naka in Lower Parel.
The incident occurred on August 21 around 9.40 pm. The accused was driving a car with registration MH 43 X 4381 in the opposite direction when it collided with the motorcycle of Siddharth Jaiswar (33), a Dharavi resident, causing damage.
Based on Jaiswar's complaint, the FIR was registered on August 22 at 6.05 am under sections 281, 125 and 324(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). A notice under section 35(3) of the BNSS has been served. Police are investigating.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Driving on the wrong side on Mumbai's busy arterial roads like Curry Road often leads to accidents, but the police response here is notable: the FIR was filed within hours of the incident. Under the new criminal laws, BNS sections 281 (rash driving) and 125 (causing hurt by act endangering life) carry stiff penalties. The accused, a 22-year-old, will likely be summoned for a preliminary inquiry. What remains unclear is whether the car was stolen or driven with owner consent, and if alcohol was involved. Watch for the police's charge sheet to see if additional sections are added.
