Authorities have identified the accused as Gaurav Manoj Ahuja (the driver) and Bhagyesh Nibjiya (the passenger). The video shows Gaurav Ahuja stepping out of the car and urinating in public, followed by inappropriate actions that have sparked widespread condemnation.
The Yerawada Police Station has registered a case against both individuals under the Indian Penal Code, the Mumbai Police Act, and the Motor Vehicle Act.
