"Of course I regret what happened. I want to apologise" - these are the first words spoken in public by Nooriya Haveliwala, since she was arrested on Friday night for drunk driving in Mumbai.
Haveliwala, drove her SUV into a police check post on Marine Drive. A motorcyclist and policeman were killed. Four other cops were injured, two of them seriously.
Haveliwala was escorted by the police to her home in Chembur on Monday afternoon. The police wanted to reconstruct the chain of events that led to the accident.
Haveliwala, a beautician, was arrested after the accident and charged with culpable homicide not amounting to murder.
Her father told PTI that his daughter was not drunk, and that the machine used for her breathalyzer test was not working.
"Any person who consumes over 430 ml alcohol can either be completely unconscious or semi-unconscious. In fact they can't even walk. But my daughter, wearing high heels, was walking straight. Something is wrong with the machine as the amount of alcohol content it indicated was not correct," Yousuf Haveliwala, who also claims to be a physician, said.
Nooriya's mother, Yousuf said, "She never had any kind of criminal problem. She hardly drinks alcohol. She consumes beer, and that too once a while".
Haveliwala's blood samples have been sent to determine whether she had also done any drugs on the night of the accident.
