tenjade_destiny said: this is surely very saddening and causes disillusionement after reading such news but yes, as anand pointed out, we are becoming so attuned to such happening that rarely take notice of same.. ideally speaking everyone is equal in eyes of law and this kind of offence deserves punisment no less than a cold blooded murder...but as u urself pointed out, such ppl with power and money usually escape easily.... there had many many instances of celebrities like salman khan and vivek being involved in such killings but i never heard of their being convicted apart from few case hearings...

Nike_123 said: right KBsir...currently such cases fall u/S. 304A IPC..if i'm not mistaken which is causing death by gross negligence or recklessness and the max penalty handed out in such offences is upto one yr RI which is clearly not sufficient. wht the law commission can do in this matter is insert a sub section which would only deal with death caused by negligent driving...normally this section is applied widely when docs are involved in cases of medical negligence which becomes a different kind of offence altogether. Docs always perform their duty in good faith however rash driving is a blatant disregard of public safety which should in my opinion be dealt with very strictly. June 21, '08 |

dagnysharma said: Raj, I hate closing on a negative note... for all my determination to look on the bright side... even i am stumped today. As Solar says... hang the man. To drive is heineous enough a crime to warrant it. For each time a drunk chooses to sit behind the wheel.. a tragedy like this is inevitable... just a question of time... and luck... Nothing much to cheer here... Dagny June 20, '08 |

King-Bulls-Ring said: Yes, Solar.. Such is the callousness of our police force (!)... I am sure they (the police) must have whisked away a few alcohol bottles that could have been smuggled by the Innova driver from Puthucheri to Tamil Nadu and as a courteus gesture, they are 'sympathizing on the driver'...!!!

solarflare said: the statement from police is -- the driver was so drunk he didn't realize what happened... and now that he is sober is worried what will happen to him! -- what ridiculousness! Hang him! any other punishment is a burden on his family 1. revoke driving license - bribe and get aother. maybe under different name. 2. Not allow him to drive - who will monitor? 3. Send him to jail - waste of tax payers money! And this will send a very good message out to the drunk drivers out there! One common excuse I always hear is - esp from lorry drivers - we travel so much and are away from home for so long - so we drink! They chose that profession!!! June 20, '08 |
