Overview
- The retired Major says he and his wife and two young daughters were stopped late on June 7 near Cyber Hub for a breathalyser check that first showed 91 mg/100 ml, above the legal limit.
- He alleges officers used a previously used mouthpiece, denied a fresh disposable nozzle, and that two later retests with a new mouthpiece produced readings of 13 mg/100 ml.
- The Major filed a written complaint saying officers were abusive, one threatened him, his mobile was seized while he tried to show a digital licence, and his family was kept at the roadside for about 90 minutes.
- Gurugram police say they have assigned the case to ACP Traffic East, have reviewed body‑worn camera footage, and state breathalysers are routinely calibrated and disposable straws are used for each test.
- The inquiry is ongoing and the complainant may seek cancellation of the challan or legal review; the case has drawn public attention because it involves a medically retired army officer and two minors and raises questions about roadside testing procedures.
