Woman booked for ramming BMW into three vehicles, trying to run over cop in Juhu
The Story in Brief
Mumbai Police have booked a woman who allegedly rammed her BMW into three vehicles near Sangeet Bharati Chowk signal in Juhu around 8.30 pm on Friday, 30 October, and then tried to steer the car toward traffic police personnel, NDTV, Deccan Chronicle and Freepress Journal report. Constable Prashant Hake, who was on duty, signalled her to stop, but she continued moving forward, NDTV says. The BMW, registration MH 02 GJ 8704, struck a scooter, a motorcycle and another car, Deccan Chronicle reports.
After a complaint by the owner of the rear-ended vehicle, Juhu police registered a case for accident and rash driving, Deccan Chronicle says. The woman filmed the officers and claimed harassment, Freepress Journal reports. Bystanders captured the episode on their phones and the video went viral. Investigation is underway, police said, with no arrest yet.
Indian Opinion Analysis
All three outlets report the same incident from Friday, 30 October, in Juhu, but NDTV and Freepress Journal foreground the viral video and the woman’s conduct, filming and claiming harassment, while Deccan Chronicle leads with the police case and official account. Deccan Chronicle is the only source to name the female police personnel who intervened, and to state that a constable asked the woman to move her car to clear congestion. NDTV alone names traffic constable Prashant Hake. The three are consistent on the registration number, the sequence of collisions and the booking for accident and rash driving. The differing detail each outlet picks up, video drama, officer identity, the crowding at the scene, gives a fuller picture read together. All three confirm that investigation is underway, with no arrest or charge mentioned.
