Juhi Mehta, chief operating officer of a digital media company, was granted bail by a Bandra court on Saturday after her arrest for allegedly trying to run over traffic constable Prashant Hake in Vile Parle West, Mumbai. The incident occurred around 8:30 pm near Pratiksha Bungalow on NS Road after Mehta's BMW collided with a stationary car and a scooter. Police allege that Mehta argued with Hake, threatened to implicate him in a false case, and then attempted to run him over as he stood in front of the vehicle, which subsequently sped away towards JVPD Junction.
The Juhu police have registered a case against Mehta under Sections 132, 125, and 351 of the BNS, 2023, and Section 184 of the Motor Vehicles Act. Mehta, a resident of Juhu Tara Road, claimed in social media videos that the scooter was hit by a WagonR, not her BMW, and that she left the scene after waiting over 35 minutes for a senior officer amid a growing crowd. A medical examination was conducted to check for alcohol influence.
