At least nine pedestrians, including an infant, were injured after a 19-year-old woman, a law student, rammed her car into them at Dharavi in Central Mumbai, police said on Friday. The incident occurred on June 19 evening around 5.30 pm when the woman, a resident of Kalbadevi in South Mumbai, lost control over the vehicle at T-Junction on 90 feet road in Dharavi, an official said.

The accused identified as Dhruva Rajpal Jain, is a resident of Kalbadevi in Mumbai and is a First year Law student. Sources revealed that her father was not giving her car to drive which is why she hired a car through online cab services and was going to Bandra with her two friends when the incident occurred. When her car reached crowded Dharavi road, the woman panicked and pressed the accelerator instead of brakes, the official said, adding that the car hit several pedestrians and vehicles.
