Former Indian cricketer Vinod Kambli, 50, was arrested for allegedly driving drunk after he rammed his car into another car which belonged to cricketer Ramesh Powar's wife, before smashing into the gate of his residential society in Bandra on Sunday afternoon.

According to police sources, Kambli tried to speed away but was caught by a police patrol van near the Lilavati Hospital and found to be in an inebriated condition. He was reported by Powar's wife, who witnessed the incident and called the police control room.

Kambli was alone at the time of the incident and also allegedly argued with the housing society's watchman and some residents following the accident.

After being apprehended by the police, the former cricketer's blood sample was sent for testing the alcohol level. “Kambli was charged under sections 279 (rash driving), 336 (endangering life or personal safety of others), 427 (mischief causing damage) and 185 (driving by a drunken person) of the Indian Penal Code,” said an official from the Bandra police station. He was later released on bail as nobody was injured in the incident.
