Mumbai police say they will register an FIR after recording the complaint of a traffic policeman who stood in front of a BMW in Juhu and was allegedly driven toward as he tried to stop the car after a collision. Police are examining CCTV footage, while reports differ on what the driver allegedly hit before the standoff.

Police say the woman has been identified

Juhu Police said they have identified the woman driving the BMW and are examining CCTV footage as they prepare to record the traffic policeman’s complaint. A senior police officer said the force will register an FIR only after recording that complaint.

That makes the procedural status important: police say they have not yet completed the formal complaint stage, and the FIR is still to follow. The woman has been identified, and police are examining CCTV footage.

How the confrontation unfolded

According to India Today, a traffic police officer stood directly in front of the BMW and kept asking the driver to stop while she inched the vehicle forward. The report said the officer had his hands on the bonnet as he tried to halt the car.

The same report said the woman shouted back at the officer and later accused those around her of harassment. It also said a bystander approached the car, urged her to stop and then opened a rear door and urged her to stop.

India Times gave a similar account of the police intervention, saying an on-duty traffic policeman witnessed the collision and stepped in front of the car to stop her. It said several bystanders also knocked on the windows and warned that the driver was putting the officer’s life at risk.

Different accounts of the crash

The two reports differ on what the BMW struck before the confrontation. India Times said the woman rammed the car into another vehicle in Juhu and tried to flee, while a caption posted with the India Today video alleged she had hit a scooter, a motorcycle and a car before trying to leave.

Both accounts place the incident in Juhu, a part of Mumbai, and both say the vehicle was a BMW. India Times said the woman stopped only after a bystander opened one of the rear doors, after which she began recording the scene on her phone.

India Today said the video prompted online criticism of the driver’s alleged conduct and concern for the officer’s safety. The reports differ on how many vehicles were involved, and the sources do not say whether anyone was injured.

For now, police have identified the driver and are reviewing CCTV footage while preparing to record the officer’s complaint. Police say the FIR will follow once they record the complaint of the traffic policeman who intervened at the scene.
