Video showing man alighting from BMW, urinating on Pune road goes viral; one detained
Pune, Mar 8 (PTI): One person was detained in connection with a viral video showing a youth alighting from a BMW and urinating at a traffic junction in Pune, a police official said on Saturday.
The incident took place in Shastrinagar area of Yerawada this morning and the video was shot by an eyewitness, he added.
A case was registered under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and Motor Vehicles Act for public nuisance, rash and negligent driving, causing danger on public roads and other offences after police was alerted about the video, the official said.
Bhagyesh Oswal, who was sitting in the front seat of the car while the main accused Gaurav Ahuja was urinating outside, has been detained, the Yerawada police station official said.
"Oswal has been sent for medical tests as we believe the youth were drunk at the time. Ahuja is absconding and local police and Crime Branch teams are taking efforts to nab him," he said.
In the clip that has gone viral on social media platforms, one man can be seen sitting in the front seat of the luxury car, while his associate is urinating at a traffic junction before taking to the wheel and speeding off with a smirk at the person videoing the incident.

Another North Goa nightclub sealed; Kejriwal says corruption led to fire tragedy
Panaji (PTI): As part of a crackdown against tourist establishments violating laws and safety norms in the aftermath of the Arpora fire tragedy, Goa authorities on Saturday sealed a renowned club at Vagator and revoked the fire department NOC of another club.
Cafe CO2 Goa, located on a cliff overlooking the Arabian Sea at Vagator beach in North Goa, was sealed. The move came two days after Goya Club, also in Vagator, was shut down for alleged violations of rules.
Elsewhere, campaigning for local body polls, AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal said the fire incident at Birch by Romeo Lane nightclub at Arpora, which claimed 25 lives on December 6, happened because the BJP government in the state was corrupt.
An inspection of Cafe CO2 Goa by a state government-appointed team revealed that the establishment, with a seating capacity of 250, did not possess a no-objection certificate (NOC) of the Fire and Emergency Services Department. The club, which sits atop Ozrant Cliff, also did not have structural stability, the team found.
The Fire and Emergency Services on Saturday also revoked the NOC issued to Diaz Pool Club and Bar at Anjuna as the fire extinguishers installed in the establishment were found to be inadequate, said divisional fire officer Shripad Gawas.
A notice was issued to Nitin Wadhwa, the partner of the club, he said in the order.
Campaigning at Chimbel village near Panaji in support of his party's Zilla Panchayat election candidate, Aam Aadmi Party leader Kejriwal said the nightclub fire at Arpora happened because of the "corruption of the Pramod Sawant-led state government."
"Why this fire incident happened? I read in the newspapers that the nightclub had no occupancy certificate, no building licence, no excise licence, no construction licence or trade licence. The entire club was illegal but still it was going on," he said.
"How could it go on? Couldn't Pramod Sawant or anyone else see it? I was told that hafta (bribe) was being paid," the former Delhi chief minister said.
A person can not work without bribing officials in the coastal state, Kejriwal said, alleging that officers, MLAs and even ministers are accepting bribes.
