Actor Dalip Tahil who is known for films like Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak, Baazigar and
Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke
has been sentenced to two months in prison for drunk driving and injuring a woman in a 2018 hit and run case.
According to Live Mint,
Dalip
Tahil was convicted by a magistrate's court based on the doctor's testimony, which indicated the presence of alcohol odour and dilated pupils.
When he was arrested in 2018, the actor refused to provide a blood sample for an alcohol test.

Dalip was involved in a car accident when his vehicle collided with an autorickshaw, causing injuries to two passengers. Initially, he tried to escape but was thwarted by a traffic jam resulting from the Ganesh
Visarjan
processions. The passengers managed to reach Dalip's car and engaged in a confrontation with him. Allegedly, a heated argument ensued, during which Dalip physically pushed them. Following this incident, the police were called, and Dalip was subsequently apprehended.
The passengers were two young women Jenita Gandhi (21), and Gaurav Chugh (22). “The impact of the collision caused Ms Gandhi to sustain a severe jolt to her back and neck. Ms Gandhi and Mr Chugh got off the autorickshaw and saw the car trying to flee towards Santacruz. The car could not get far as the street was crowded due to
Ganeshotsav
immersion processions,” an officer with the Khar police told the Hindu.
Dalip Tahil has still not responded to his sentence.
