Rich and mighty get away lightly for rash driving: SC
March 30, 2015
The rich and mighty escape with lesser punishment in rash driving cases,
the Supreme Court today said, and asked the Centre to work on a tougher
law.
The court asked the government to amend the law for rash and negligent driving to have more stringent punishment, NDTV reports.
The comments came as a court in Mumbai is in the middle of a
trial of actor Salman Khan on charges of culpable homicide. The 49-year-old is accused of drinking and driving his SUV and running
over people sleeping on a pavement in Mumbai on September 28, 2002.
Today, his driver appeared in court and said he was the one behind the wheels.
