Speaking to mid-day, Sahana's nephew Liyakat Qazi said, "I approached the driver of the SUV to confront him. When I told him who I was, he abused me, asked me to leave and claimed he would be out on bail in a day. This led to an escalation after which the onlookers vandalised the SUV. The accused was drunk and aware of the danger of driving under the influence. The police must take strict action against him."

The deceased was walking in front of the gate of Auris Tower in Malad when the SUV that was being driven by a drunk driver rammed into her.
