According to a report by NDTV, the driver was travellingfrom Solapur to Pune and made a halt at Hotel GokulRegency in anticipation of free food.

However, as the driverwent inside, he was reportedly stopped from entering the hotel premises. The media report citing the manager said the driver was not in an appropriate condition to enter the family restaurant, dressed in indecent attire and intoxicated to the level where he wasn’t even able to walk properly.

Some men tried to stop the truck driver’s absurd behaviour by throwing stones at the truck, urging him to stop his rowdiness.

The truck driver was eventually forced to stopafter the wheels of the truck ceased to move.

'Truck driver wasabusive and extremely drunk'

Prince Desai, owner of Gokul Regency told WION,“I was out of town when this incident took place. My manager informed me that the truck driver was abusive and extremely drunk. He could have done anything to any other person; he was that drunk.”

“As I run a family restaurant, this is a place where children and families dine. How could we let that inappropriate person enter, which would have made the place unsafe for my customers. I want to state that the hotel is nowhere at fault for not letting the person in, despite what other media platforms are trying to prove. The driver was highly intoxicated, abusive, and wasn’t even able to walk properly. We did what was needed to ensure safety.” Desai added.

Upon being notified of the incident, Desai immediately called 100. A police complaint has been registered, and they are still awaiting further legal action.
