Police arrest Businessman and stand-up comedian Ustav Dixit for alleged reckless driving

Ustav Dixit, 33, a businessman and stand-up comedian, was arrested on Sunday for alleged reckless driving when his Porsche collided with the KBR Park border wall.

According to a statement from the Asst. Commissioner of Police of Banjara Hills Division, on November 1, a case was registered based on a complaint by patrolling police personnel.

The complaint said, that on November 1 at approximately 05:45 p.m, a red colour Porsche car collided with the boundary wall of KBR park, hitting a tree and causing severe damage to the wall, grills, and pavement. Patrolling police officers arrived at the scene following a citizen's Dial 100 call.


On reaching the spot, police saw that a red Porsche car had struck the sidewalk, the boundary wall and its grill. The car's number plate was discovered to be missing. Upon further investigation, a cracked number plate was discovered inside the vehicle. The front wheels of the car were damaged and the car's driver had allegedly escaped.

The police successfully located and arrested the suspect after a thorough verification of the available evidence. Following standard legal procedures, he was transported to a medical facility for a comprehensive examination that included tests for both alcohol and drugs.

In addition to these measures, his original driver's license has been confiscated and submitted to the relevant Regional Transport Office (RTO) for disqualification under Section 19 of the Motor Vehicles Act.

Preliminary investigations indicated that the collision was primarily caused by reckless driving, which ultimately resulted in the driver losing control of the vehicle. Authorities are continuing their investigation to gather more details about the circumstances leading up to the incident.
