Gujarat Post gives no separate date for the crash; 5 November 2026 is taken from the Times of India and Gujarat Samachar accounts (Thursday night), while the pages were published on 6 November.
The accounts differ on distance: Gujarat Post and Times of India say about one kilometre, while Gujarat Samachar says about 500 metres and places the impact near Doordarshan Kendra rather than Gurukul Crossroads; the report uses the longer figure given by two sources.
Gujarat Post says the scooter rider was thrown onto the road and dragged along with the scooter, while Gujarat Samachar says nobody was riding the parked Activa; the rider's injuries and account are not established.
No charge sheet, court date or sentence was reported; the case was at the arrest stage.
The liquor bottle's contents and volume were not stated, so no quantity is recorded.
Media: only the Gujarat Post page picture was available as a direct image link; no photo from the other two accounts could be separately recovered.
Left out, as its quotation was not found in The Times of India: The Times of India reported that residents who caught the car allegedly found him under the influence of alcohol and handed him to police, who recovered the half-filled bottle.
