Police inspect Nooriya Haveliwala’s car on Jan 30, 2010
Nooriya Haveliwala, the 40-year-old American national of Indian origin who was convicted in a drunk driving case from January 2010, passed away on Tuesday at a south Mumbai hospital. She had caused the death of a police sub-inspector and a biker when on January 30, 2010, she crashed her SUV into six persons at Marine Lines.
Four were injured. Sources close to the Haveliwala family told mid-day that she had slipped into depression as her one mistake had ruined everything in her life. She speeded her SUV and rammed into multiple vehicles, killed innocent people. This sends a strong message that you may be a wealthy person, a promising professional, belong to an affluent family, but if you violate a rule, you will be convicted. So follow all the rules. Don’t drink and drive,” said a senior officer attached to Mumbai traffic police. Haveliwala, an NRI beautician, had been living with her parents in America but her father, Yusuf, decided to move to India and hence they came to Mumbai and lived in Colaba, said the sources close to the family.
