The Wadala RTO has also sent a report of their observations of the crash site to the RCF police.

“The show-cause notice is a chance for the person to put their version across, after which the RTO will take the appropriate action,” said an RTO official, requesting anonymity. Depending Gadkar’s reply, her license could either be suspended for a maximum of 120 days, or revoked —which means Gadkar will never be allowed to drive a motor vehicle.“It is a lifetime ban on driving vehicles,” said the officer.

The officer said in this case, almost all laws were circumvented: Gadkar was drunk, driving on the wrong side and speeding. “In such cases, the license is normally revoked.” RTO officials who visited the crash site found no fault with Gadkar’s car. “It is a case of absolute negligence and human error,” said the officer.
