Police Action on Beach Driving Incident
The police will request the insurer of the SUV, a Mercedes-Benz car valued at more than ₹1 crore, not to approve any claim for damages. This step aims to send a message to people to refrain from taking their vehicles to prohibited areas.
The administration has issued a notification prohibiting taking four-wheelers on the beach to prevent such incidents from happening again.
The sports utility vehicle was finally pulled out from the marshy beach on Tuesday after being stuck for nearly 36 hours, according to an official.
Owner Arrested for Rash Driving
In a viral video circulating on social media platforms, two men can be seen stranded near the car on the Dumas beach. The local police identified the owner, 50-year-old Aksar Abdulla Shah, and arrested him on charges of rash driving under section 281 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
According to Assistant Commissioner of Police Deep Vakil, Shah claimed that the incident occurred on Sunday morning while he was driving the car with his wife on the marshy beach, leading the vehicle to get stuck in the sand.
After the arrest, Shah was later released on bail.
The police officer mentioned that to set an example for those who drive their vehicles in prohibited areas, they will inform the insurance firm about the incident to ensure that Shah does not receive any compensation for the damages caused.
