A deadly mix of celebration and tragedy
The Hindu
Two accidents that claimed four lives prove that drunken drivers have no fear of law
A taxi driver’s celebration turned out to be tragic curse for a couple at Narsingi on the capital’s outskirts. And a young businessman’s drive for food after midnight partying killed two workers at Banjara Hills in the city centre.
Both taxi driver Ch. Sanjeeva and businessman Rohit Goud were ‘driving under the influence of alcohol’. Now they are facing charges of culpable homicide not amounting to murder. In the two instances, reported at Narsingi around 1 p.m. and the Banjara Hills around 1 a.m, police invoked Indian Penal Code Section 304 Part-II (culpable homicide not amounting to murder).
Family members broke the ‘good news’ of the birth of a baby girl to Sanjeeva after Sunday midnight at Mokila village in Shankarpally of Ranga Reddy district. The overjoyed taxi driver plunged into a liquor party with his near and dear soon after hearing the news.
