The Ram Jhula accident has taken a serious turn as non-bailable charges under Section 304 of the Indian Penal Code have been filed by Tehsil Police. This follows an incident involving a Mercedes car that resulted in the tragic deaths of two youths. A police official from Tehsil Police Station revealed, "The decision to include the non-bailable section came after receiving a report from the Forensic Laboratory indicating that Ritu Dinesh Malu (39), a resident of Deshpande Lay-out, was driving under the influence of alcohol."

With these charges in place, the police intend to present the case to the court and seek custody of Ritu Malu for further interrogation. Notably, police investigations have uncovered evidence from the CP Club, showing that two women, including Ritu Malu, purchased '240 ml' of liquor on the night of the accident.

Ritu Malu and Madhuri Shishir Sarada (37), residents of Wardhaman Nagar, were in the Mercedes at the time of the accident. They were headed towards Wardhaman Nagar late on a Saturday night, with Ritu at the wheel of the car (MH-49/AS-6111). The victims, Mohd Hussain Ghulam Mustafa (34) from Nalsaheb Chowk, Mominpura, and Mohd Atif Mohd Zia (32) from Awasthi Chowk, Jafar Nagar, tragically lost their lives when their moped (MH-37/Q-2948) was struck by the Mercedes.

Malu faces charges under Sections 279, 338, and 304 (a) of the Indian Penal Code, as well as Section 184 of the Motor Vehicle Act, according to the police's official statement.
