Pune police have arrested Gaurav Ahuja, the BMW driver who parked his car in the middle of the road and urinated in public in Pune’s Shastrinagar area. Police have also arrested his friend Bhagyesh Oswal over similar charges.
Pune police registered a case on Saturday after a video went viral on social media, showing a youth alighting from posh BMW car, and urinating in public in Pune’s busy Shastrinagar area in Yerawada.
