A 26-year-old man has been arrested for performing stunts while driving a car under the influence of alcohol in Mumbai’s Andheri area on Thursday. Accused Suraj Sav, a resident of Virar on the city’s outskirts, was doing the car stunts on the Andheri-Kurla road late on Monday night.
A video of the incident making rounds on social media shows Sav getting out of the moving car and operating the steering wheel while hanging out of the window. He even briefly ran on the road while perilously clinging to the car’s window.
