Court orders IIM grad to stand with "Don't drink & drive" banner

He was arrested in November 2024 for allegedly driving under the influence.

The Bombay High Court has ordered an IIM graduate accused of driving in an inebriated condition to stand at a traffic junction with a “Don’t Drink and Drive” banner.

Sabyasachi Nishank was arrested in November 2024 for allegedly driving under the influence and ramming his vehicle at two police posts without stopping. The 32-year-old, who is an IIM Lucknow alumnus, was granted bail on a bond of Rs 1 lakh.

The court, though, has set another condition for his bail. Nishank would have to hold a flex banner measuring 4x3 feet in his hands with the words, “Don’t Drink and Drive.” He will have to stand at a busy traffic junction every weekend for 3 months.

Nishank will have to report to the traffic officer manning the signal at the Worli Naka junction, who shall then depute him to stand in a visibly well-lit place on the footpath facing the road for 3 hours every Saturday and Sunday for 3 months.
