Ahmedabad: In an another incident of rash driving, a speeding car ran over 6 members of a family sleeping on road in the city.
2 people have died while 4 have been critically injured in the incident. According to the police, the driver was drunk when the incident occured.
The driver was thrashed and his car was damaged by the angry locals. The driver has been arrested by the police.
Terming light sentences being awarded in road accident cases as "mockery of justice", Supreme Court had earlier in another case asked lawmakers to "scrutinise, re-look and re-visit" the penal laws saying the poor's life was as worth living as that of the rich.
"We are compelled to observe that India has a disreputable record of road accidents. There is a nonchalant attitude among the drivers. They feel that they are the 'Emperors' of all they survey. Drunkenness contributes to careless driving where other people become their prey.
