The incident took place in Shastrinagar area of Yerawada and was caught on camera by an eyewitness.
Case Filed For Public Nuisance, Rash And Negligent Driving
A case was registered under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and Motor Vehicles Act against Gaurav Ahuja, who was driving the car, and his co-passenger Bhagyesh Oswal for public nuisance, rash and negligent driving, causing danger on public roads and other offences after police were alerted about the video, PTI reported quoting a police official.
"Oswal was detained earlier in the evening from his residence. Ahuja, who was absconding since the video came to light, was taken into custody later in the night from Karad tehsil in Satara. Oswal has been sent for medical tests as we believe the youth were drunk at the time," he added.
In the video, Oswal can be seen on the front seat, while Ahuja is urinating at a traffic junction before speeding off. Ahuja later released a video clip on social media apologising for his act.
"Please give me one chance. I will surrender in the next eight hours," Ahuja said in the video.
