Overview
- Traffic police in Hyderabad, Cyberabad and Malkajgiri reported a combined 990 bookings from special enforcement drives in late June, with Hyderabad's two‑day drive and Malkajgiri's week‑long operation making up the total.
- Two‑wheelers made up the bulk of offenders in all three commissionerates, with each drive recording far more motorcycle riders than car or three‑wheeler drivers.
- Police reported many very high blood‑alcohol concentrations, including dozens above 300 mg/100 ml and individual readings as high as 550 mg/100 ml.
- Courts disposed of 251 recent DUI cases between June 22 and June 27 with fines, and authorities said all arrested motorists will be produced before magistrates.
- Officials have framed the drives as a zero‑tolerance road‑safety push and warned that motorists whose intoxication causes deaths could face prosecution under Section 105, which carries up to 10 years in prison and a fine.
