A woman in Nagpur surrendered to police after being accused of causing a fatal accident while driving drunk. Ritika alias Ritu Maloo was denied pre-arrest bail by the Bombay High Court. The incident, which occurred on February 25, left two men dead. Maloo now faces multiple criminal charges.

A woman in Nagpur has surrendered to police following accusations that she mowed down two men while driving her Mercedes under the influence of alcohol over four months ago.

Ritika alias Ritu Maloo was formally arrested on Monday evening after she walked into a city police station and underwent questioning. Last month, the Nagpur bench of the Bombay High Court denied her pre-arrest bail, citing that no prudent person drives under the influence and calling the act serious misconduct.

The incident, which occurred on February 25 on Ram Jhula bridge, involved Maloo allegedly driving recklessly and crashing into two men on a scooter, causing fatal injuries. Initially booked under various sections of the Indian Penal Code and Motor Vehicles Act, she now faces additional charges due to public outcry and the severity of the crash.
