MUMBAI — At least seven vehicles were damaged when a speeding car, driven by a TV actor, hit them at Santacruz, police said.

The incident took place in the early hours of Monday when Ruhi Shaileshkumar Singh, 30, who was allegedly in an inebriated state, dashed her car with other vehicles, a police official said.

Singh was served a notice by the police, while two of her friends were arrested in the case, Times of India reported.

Four two-wheelers and three cars were damaged, but no one was injured, an official said.

A video of the incident has gone viral where Singh can be seen arguing with people who had gathered around her car. She is also seen accusing police of assaulting her.

According to the ToI report, the actor and her friends had stopped at a mall in Bandra on the way back from a pub. They got into a fight with workers at the mall after they were not allowed to use a toilet.

“When Ruhi and her two friends were leaving, she got behind the wheel and rammed the car into a few parked vehicles in Santacruz as she was under the influence of alcohol. The Santacruz police station has booked her for rash driving also,” deputy commissioner of police (zone IX) Paramjit Singh Dahia told ToI.

The Khar police has booked the actors and two other for assault while the Santacruz police has booked her for rash driving and drunk driving, the report said.
