Corporate lawyer
Victim: On June 8, 2015, Sadiya S Sabuwala, 22, was returning from Bhiwandi along with her family members by taxi by the Eastern Freeway. Around 1am, their taxi had crossed the tunnel in Chembur, when a red Audi came at high speed from the opposite direction and crashed into the taxi. The impact of the crash left Sadiya’s father and the taxi driver, Mohammed Hussain Abdul Sayyad dead. Others traveling in the taxi, including Sadiya, suffered severe injuries.
Perpetrator: The car was being driven by corporate lawyer Janhavi Ajit Gadkar. The police probe found that the lawyer was under the influence of alcohol at the time of the accident and was therefore booked by the RCF police under sections 304(ii) (culpable homicide not amounting to murder) and other relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code, the Motor Vehicles Act and the Maharashtra Prohibition Act.
Status of case: The lawyer was arrested right at the spot. Investigation is complete and charge-sheet filed. Arguments are going on. The case is listed for framing of charges on June 14.

Also what's her new name? This is a public information and if she changed her name, it should have been published in a Newspaper.
Also How on earth was she able to get her driving license renewed? How is it even possible?
The matter was reserved for final arguments in 2021.
The Accused is out on bail, and her driving licence is also renewed.
India
did she change her name ? That would show up in an advt of some sort I thought,
did she go scot free ? that should be covered by some news
did the victim families get something for their loss - I hope they did.
Does she continue to drink and drive ? I pray that she doesnt
Nothing against the accused - I just think justice needs to be done else we are all a bunch of losers and money the winner.
Can we file a PIL in Bombay High Court to revive the case against her. It's very unfortunate that a lawyer used her influence to get out of the justice system and abuse the poor cruelly.
▮▮▮, Cruel Behavior etc should never be tolerated. Why is the prosecutors not enthusiastic to finish the trial.
Could we file an RTI to know the case status. It's buried, but it is still possible to review this..
What about the compensation for the poor family? Has it been paid or are they still suffering.
Which NGO's would be good at helping us?
If we don't do this, it would send a bad signal to the society - Especially rich people who would understand that crime doesn't put you in jail if you are rich. Also disrepute on the legal profession.
And Jhanhavi Gadkar shamelessly used the women card.
I am sure that by a few more years Janhavi Gadkar will change her name or get a gag order against even this thread on Legally India.
But this person is left Scot free
It's so sad to see Indian Justice system being like this. The only reason she escaped prison was because of (1) Wealth (2) power (3) Gender - women are given less punishments and less convictions.
Janhavi Gadkar's case had the highest amount of Evidence in any Drunk Driving Case in India - an innocent family was brutalized.
The worst part is not Janhavi not getting convicted. It's that recently she appealed before some Mumbai Court to get her driving license back so ▮▮▮ and go Scott free.
The moment Janhavi gets her license back - Prosecutor dealing with her case should stop practicing law.
Also,
Why didn't Bar Council of Maharashtra and Goa or even Reliance Industries didn't take any action against her?
All of this puzzles me.
I hope your relatives are always born with a silver spoon so that they never have to take rickshaw for even single day.
shame on you
But why don't you just let her live her life without your unnecessary judgment? If someone does something stupid once doesn't make them a terrible human being, which isn't to say she shouldn't be held accountable for her actions.
And what would you do if you were in this situation? Use the cheapest lawyer or request the court to condemn you to the longest possible sentence?
Maybe you've never been in a situation in life where if it were not for a little bit of luck or just the dumb roll of the dice, your life could have turned upside down - but I have and hence I can empathize with her.
Probably enjoying her life vacationing in Europe. The last update showed her taking a bail and requesting her passport for European and African Tours. Check Times of India.
She is rich. The chances of her going to jail is less than 1%
Janhavi Gadkar was a corporate lawyer at Talwar Thakkore & Associate and Reliance Industries.
After getting drunk. She rammed her Audi into a cab and killed/maimed an entire family.
She and her Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas ex Husband used the most expensive lawyers in Mumbai.
Last update was that - she was trying to get her license back after drunk driving and killing people 😳
