The two friends enjoyed a beer party at Sagar's house and then went out for dinner. However, when Viral felt less drunk while driving, he opened the steering wheel in one hand and a can of beer in the other hand and started drinking while driving. In the meantime, the car lost control and climbed onto the footpath. After the accident, Sagar got out of the car and fled taking advantage of the crowd. Now, a case has been registered against Sagar under the Prohibition Act at Nikol police station. He took over the steering wheel with one hand and started drinking beer with the other hand After the arrest of the accused, interrogation revealed that Viral Chaudhary had gone to his friend Sagar's house before the accident. As Viral was running low on alcohol, he took out another can from the stock kept in the car and started drinking beer with the other hand. Due to the intoxication of the moving car, Viral lost control of the car, due to which two people lost their lives. A case will be registered against Sagar as a co-accused As soon as the accident took place, Sagar got down from the car and fled from there, while the locals caught Viral, who was sitting on the steering wheel, and handed him over to the police.

Since Sagar had consumed beer with Viral and did not stop him despite knowing that there was a quantity of liquor in the car, a case will be registered against him as a co-accused under the Prohibition Act at Nikol police station.
