A drunk driver is like a suicide bomber, says Delhi judge
March 31, 2015
NDTV reports: A drunk driver is like a "suicide bomber who has set out to kill himself
and other road users," said a judge in Delhi today, calling for
stricter punishment, just as Supreme Court judges did 24 hours ago.
The judge made his comments in the case of a Delhi auto driver who had
challenged a 20-day jail sentence on the grounds that he is a
"first-time offender".
The judge rejected that appeal, pointing out that the driver was drunk
during peak rush hour. "There would have certainly been a horrible
tragedy, if he was not stopped by traffic police officials," observed
Additional Sessions Judge Virender Bhatt said.
