Mumbai police mistake stroke for drunkenness, man left partially paralysed

A 73-year-old man who had a stroke behind the wheel and got into a minor crash was reportedly held at a Mumbai police station for several hours because officers suspected he was drunk. According to his family, this delay prevented him from receiving urgent medical care during the vital "golden hour" for stroke patients, resulting in partial paralysis. The family stated that police misidentified his slurred speech—a clear sign of a stroke—as being under the influence of alcohol.
