Overview
- Results from Saturday–Sunday checks across Uttar Pradesh show 2,654 motorists fined after officers examined 69,683 vehicles at 135 toll plazas, yielding ₹2.65 crore.
- In Telangana, Hyderabad police booked 351 drivers during May 8–9 while Cyberabad booked 137 over the weekend, for a combined 488 cases headed to court.
- Police released blood-alcohol readings that were often far above the 30 mg per 100 ml legal limit, including several cases above 300 mg per 100 ml.
- Driving over the limit is an offence under Section 185 of the Motor Vehicles Act with fines or jail time, and Cyberabad warned that a fatal crash could bring Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita Section 105 with up to 10 years in prison.
- Accident analysis in UP shows the share linked to drunk driving fell from 8.61% in 2023 to 3.51% in 2025, which police say supports more weekend checks.
