Being an animal lover has cost Gaurav Ujjanwal hard, when it led him to drive a luxury vehicle into the divider on the Bandra-Worli Sea Link. The incident occurred around 9.30 am yesterday, when Ujjanwal was on his way to Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC) from south Mumbai.

Ujjanwal was driving a Mercedes Kompressor C200, which is worth Rs 40 lakh. Suddenly, he noticed a rather large rat on the road the animal had already been run over by another car earlier and was writhing in pain. In order to avoid it, he swerved sharply to the left.
