Lavesh Kevalramani, a 22-year-old Ulhasnagar resident and MBA student, faces accusations of drunk driving, leading to the deaths of three individuals and injuring three others. Consequently, he has been sent to two days police custody by the court. The incident took place on Monday morning when Lavesh, driving an MG Hector car in an inebriated state, collided with an auto-rickshaw on the Kalyan-Badlapur Road in Shanti Nagar.
According to a police officer, “Lavesh attended an engagement ceremony and was found in an inebriated state. Investigations are ongoing regarding the possibility of drug consumption, and his blood samples have been sent to Kalina’s forensic lab for analysis.” Reportedly, Lavesh was arrested on the spot by the cops at Central police station. “Due to severe intoxication, he was unable to move. He was saved only by the airbag as his car suffered extensive damage,” said a police officer.
