Her Scorpio car soon caught up with the car of the drunk men. She got out of her car and took down the number on the license plate and also took pictures of the two men. Meanwhile, she also informed the police about Rakesh Agarwal, who was injured in the incident.

He was on the left side of the road and was wearing a helmet. It was just reckless driving by the driver, she says.

Her bouncers had also seized the car keys, till the police arrived at the spot. When the bouncers caught hold of Raju Bondopadhay and Brij Bondopadhay, who were driving the car, they said,” Please pardon us, it was a small mistake.”

Mimi told  Anandbazar Patrika, ” I was shocked to hear this. They were about to kill a person and they say it was a small mistake?”

Meanwhile, Mimi  informed Mr. Agarwal’s wife about the accident.

Help also came in the form of Bengali filmmaker Raj Chakraborty, who arrived on the spot, as soon as he got to know of the accident.

Mimi maintains that though it was a crowded road, nobody came to the help of the man.

She added that the only people who came forward were those who wanted to click her pictures.
