Following the Worli hit-and-run and similar cases elsewhere, the Mumbai police have been asked to go ruthless in checking people who drink and drive. Also, the bars that violate the closing time deadline and excise rules will be shut down and their licences revoked.

CM Eknath Shinde made this announcement on Monday. “I asked the city police commissioner to start a drive against those who drink and drive. I have also asked him to shut down hotels and restaurants that remain open after the deadline. The licence of establishments (that violate rules and stay open beyond closing time) will be revoked,” he said.
