Bollywood actress Janhvi Kapoor reacted to the hit-and-run incident that took place in Jaipur on Monday night, where a woman named Sanskriti, a resident of Nagpur, allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol, rammed her car into a bike carrying three people. Fourteen-year-old Aasima, who was riding the bike, died on the spot, while her father Islamuddin and cousin sustained serious injuries and are currently undergoing treatment at a hospital.
On Wednesday, Janhvi Kapoor expressed her outrage over the incident. Taking to her Instagram story, she wrote,”What enables such reckless behaviour? What makes anyone think it’s okay to drive under the influence of alcohol and endanger themselves and people around them? The casual nature of this crime is baffling.”
“The amount of deaths and injuries due to drinking and driving even more so. Why aren’t we more respectful and aware about the AGAINST THE LAW,” added Kapoor.

The police chased down the car, stopped it, and apprehended the woman driving. After hitting the bike, Sanskriti was seen pleading with the police. The incident sparked tensions in the area, with a crowd gathering outside the local police station, demanding justice and action against the accused.
“The deceased was returning home with her father, Islamuddin, and her 6-year-old sister on a bike. While going near Sanganeri Gate at around 12.20 at night, a speeding car hit their bike from behind. The collision was so strong that all three, including the bike, bounced off on the road,” a police official said.
