on

Mumbai: With New Year’s eve just around the corner, Mumbai and Mumbaikars are ready to party. The Mumbai Police’s preparedness is also on-point. A quirky road safety message was posted by from the official twitter handle of the Mumbai Traffic Police reminding people that safety comes first.

The tweet explains what a ‘bro Code’ is. It goes on to tell people that a ‘bro’ will never let another ‘bro’ drive while they are drunk. It asks the public to instead book a cab.

The tweet reads: “Bro Code: A ‘bro’ shall never let another ‘bro’ drive drunk. Take a cab. #DontDrinkAndDrive #RoadSafety.”

There’s a picture with the tweet which reads: “aaj gaadi tera bhai driver chalaega (You bro driver will drive you home today)”

The return of breath analysers:

Meanwhile, the Mumbai Traffic Police brought back breath analyser tests from December 29 (today) to prevent drunk and rash driving.

Breathalysers were stopped in 2020-21 owing to the Covid-19 pandemic as any direct contact with an infected person heightens the risk of the spread of the infection.

In 2021, blood tests were conducted to ascertain if motorists were inebriated while driving. This year, even though the COVID risk is lurking around the corner, the police are determined to stop cases of drunk driving after year-end parties.

In the last week of December until New Year’s eve, people come out in large numbers to celebrate. The police said this year the crowds are expected to be much more as the pandemic restrictions have long been lifted. Moreover, people were homebound these past two years and are enjoying every minute of the world going back to normal.

For the night of Dec 31, 100 nakabandi points have been fixed in Mumbai for breathalyser tests. Along with the local police, the traffic police will also make related arrangements. If anyone is found drunk or driving rashly, a case will be registered against immediately.

Mumbai: The Mumbai-Delhi High Court has strongly criticized Red Chillies Entertainment Shah Rukh Khan, Gauri Khan and others in the defamation case against NCB Zonal Director IRS officer Sameer Wankhede and said that artistic freedom does not mean mocking a person. After this, the High Court has ordered that the controversial footage related to Sameer Wankhede be removed from the controversial Netflix series The Bads of Bollywood. Sameer Wankhede had filed a petition in the High Court and pleaded that his character has been killed in The Bads of Bollywood and this series has been made to target him. The purpose is to humiliate and mock Sameer Wankhede. After watching some parts of this series, the High Court has ordered the removal of the controversial parts from the film.

Sameer Wankhede’s lawyer had told the court that the character portrayed in the film is a comparison to Sameer Wankhede and that this series has been created with the intention of tarnishing Wankhede’s image. The Bads of Bollywood is malicious, therefore, the above-mentioned controversial scenes and objectionable dialogues should be deleted from the series, on which the court has issued an order to delete the controversial and objectionable content and content. Earlier, while hearing Sameer Wankhede’s petition, the court had sent notices to Shah Rukh Khan’s Red Chillies, Netflix, Meta, and social media platforms and directed them to file a response. To this, Red Chillies had called the film and series a drama and made it clear that it had nothing to do with the facts. However, despite this, the Delhi High Court inquired whether a film drama does not mean that someone’s character is killed and said this, it reprimanded Shah Rukh Khan and the film company. Sameer Wankhede tried to prove through his argument that the character portrayed in the film resembles Sameer Wankhede and that this character has been portrayed in a negative way to target him and in this, an attempt has been made to make fun of Sameer Wankhede through this character, which has humiliated Wankhede, which the court has accepted and issued a directive to delete the objectionable and controversial content. This is a big success for Sameer Wankhede, while Shah Rukh Khan has suffered a huge setback.
