Pune Police Parade BMW Driver Gaurav Ahuja Who Peed At Signal And Flashed Locals Along With Friend Bhagyesh Oswal

Pune police publicly paraded Gaurav Ahuja and Bhagyesh Oswal, accused in the BMW public obscenity case. Yerwada police officials revisited the crime scene where Gaurav Ahuja engaged in obscene acts. The parade aimed to send a stern warning against such behavior.

For the uninitiated, in the clip that went viral on social media platforms, Oswal can be seen occupying the front seat of the luxury car, while Ahuja is urinating at a traffic junction before taking to the wheel and speeding off after making an obscene gesture at the person videoing the incident.

While Oswal was arrested from his residence on Saturday, Ahuja, who was driving the car, was detained hours later from Karad in neighbouring Satara district and was placed under arrest in the early hours of Sunday, a police official said.

Ahuja and Oswal were produced in the sessions court here, with the public prosecutor seeking seven-day police remand to allow a probe into whether the two had consumed any narcotic substance.

The duo’s lawyer opposed the remand plea claiming police was working under political and media pressure and had invoked BNS sections that did not apply to the case.

After hearings arguments from both sides, the court remanded Ahuja and Oswal in police remand till today, March 10.

Before his arrest, Ahuja released a video clip on social media apologising for his act. In his video, Ahuja was seen apologising to “the police department and Shinde Saheb”. It is speculated that the youth is apologising to Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde in the viral video, referring to him as ‘Shinde Saheb’. However, there is no confirmation of whom Ahuja referred to while apologising.
