Nooriya Haveliwala, an NRI who was convicted in a 2010 drunk driving case in which two persons were killed, died at a hospital in Mumbai earlier this week, the police said on Sunday.

Haveliwala was convicted of drunk driving and mowing down a police officer and a motorcyclist in Marine Lines area of south Mumbai in January 2010.

A trial court here had sentenced her to five years in jail.

After completing her sentence, Haveliwala (41) lived with her mother Alifya (88) in Colaba's Alipur Trust Building.

She had reportedly slipped into depression and was undergoing treatment, an official said.

Haveliwala died at Saifee Hospital in Charni Road on Tuesday, he said.

Haveliwala's mother informed the Colaba police about her daughter's death, after which a diary entry was made.

The LT Marg police will now inform the Bombay high court about her natural death on the next date of hearing of her appeal against her conviction in the case, he said.

The Colaba police were informed that she died on July 4 due to a chronic liver disease with partial hypertension.

"We have also shared the information with the LT Marg police station, where the case was registered," the official said. -- PTI
