The Regional Traffic Office (RTO) of Ahmedabad on Friday cancelled the driving licence of Ripal Panchal, the accused in the case of drunk driving and damaging multiple vehicles.

Following a request from the police department, the RTO revoked both his two-wheeler and four-wheeler licenses permanently.

Chaos unfolded on Ambli-Bopal Road in Ahmedabad when a luxury Audi car, driven by Panchal, wreaked havoc during peak traffic hours, ramming multiple vehicles and leaving a trail of destruction. The incident, witnessed by horrified onlookers, ended when the vehicle crashed into a railing.

Eyewitnesses reported that Panchal, a resident of Thaltej, appeared heavily intoxicated and nonchalant about the chaos he had caused. Shockingly, after the series of accidents, he was seen sitting inside his damaged car, smoking a cigarette.

The onlookers beat him for his actions before handing him over to the M Division traffic police.

The rampage began when the Audi first collided with a Harrier SUV near the ISKCON Bridge. The driver continued recklessly, hitting a three-wheeler and another car before crashing into a Nexon near a Tata Motors dealership. The Audi finally came to a halt after striking a barricade, leaving multiple vehicles severely damaged.

And reportedly this was not the first offense of Panchal he had earlier in May hitted an Activa rider where the woman had suffered fractured and multiple injuries in the ribs.
