A total of 2,731 individuals were apprehended for driving under the influence of alcohol.

The figures revealed that the Hyderabad Commissionerate recorded the highest number of offenders, with 1,198 people caught. Cyberabad followed closely behind, where 928 individuals were charged. In the Rachakonda Commissionerate, 605 drivers were found to be over the legal alcohol limit.
