Woman accused of drunk driving released on bail

Four days after getting bail, Nooriya Haveliwala, accused of drunk driving and fatally knocking down two persons on January 30, was released from the Byculla women's jail on Sunday.

Nooriya Haveliwala (27), a beautician by profession, was arrested on January 31 for allegedly mowing down two persons, including a traffic police inspector, and injuring four traffic police constables. She tested positive for alcohol and drugs.
Surety

A metropolitan magistrate on Wednesday granted her bail on a surety of Rs. 15,000 after the police failed to file the charge sheet in the case within the stipulated 60-day period.

“Nooriya was released after all the formalities were completed,” her lawyer Renuka Lazmeshwar said.
