Pune: Gaurav Ahuja, Arrested for Urinating and Obscene Acts in Public Gets Bail in 16 Days
Pune, March 26: A Pune court on Wednesday (March 26) granted bail to Gaurav Ahuja, who was arrested after a video of him urinating in public and flashing his genitals went viral, sparking massive outrage.
Incident Details
On the morning of March 8, around 7:30 AM, Ahuja, allegedly under the influence of alcohol, stopped his BMW in the middle of the road at a traffic signal in Yerawada’s Shastrinagar and proceeded to urinate on the road divider. When confronted by locals, he ignored them and flashed at them before speeding away. Another youth in the car was also seen holding a liquor bottle.
As I stated this morning, Gaurav Ahuja is not a first-time offender, he’s a habitual criminal with a long history of offenses. He knows the law, how to exploit legal loopholes, and how to evade arrest. His past record is filthy!
