NDTV reports: A woman lawyer who crashed her Audi car into a taxi in Mumbai on Monday resulting in the death of two persons consumed alcohol twice that night according to CCTV footage.

During questioning, Janhavi Gadkar, 35, had said that that she visited a restaurant and met her colleagues where she consumed two pegs of whiskey to celebrate a new project, the police have claimed.

The lawyer also reportedly said that she later slept inside her car at the Marine Drive for two hours to get sober.
