The corporation said in a press release that this is the first such case in the country. Ahmedabad was recently selected as the top city in a national cleanliness survey.
In a similar incident last year, man rammed his Jaguar, into a divider while trying to spit gutkha (chewing tobacco) from his moving vehicle. Greater Noida police while confirming the incident told a national daily that the victim was alone in the car at the time of the incident.
