Man reunites with family after memory loss accident in delhi
New Delhi: For nearly two months, Deepak's identity was a mystery, even to himself. After a severe road accident in May left the 35-year-old with memory loss, he lay on a hospital bed without a name, address or contact, until Delhi Police stepped in to piece together a life he couldn't remember. The incident took place on May 23, when a PCR call alerted Badarpur police station about an accident on Mathura Road. When ASI Satish and constable Balram reached the scene, they found the injured man had already been taken to a hospital. The driver of the offending vehicle had fled. An FIR was registered and an investigation began. Deepak remained unconscious for a week. When he finally regained consciousness, he was unable to recall his full name or contact details. Days became weeks, and despite his gradual physical recovery, his memory offered little help.

Delhi Hit-And-Run: How The Accused Got Bail Despite 5 Deaths
India's judicial system allows bail in most cases. Sections 279 and 125(a) are bailable, and first-time offenders under Section 185 of the Motor Vehicles Act often get bail too In the early hours of July 9, tragedy struck Delhi's Vasant Vihar when a speeding Audi mowed down five people sleeping on a footpath-two couples and an eight-year-old girl. The driver, Utsav Shekhar, was arrested at the scene but was swiftly granted bail. This has sparked outrage and raised serious questions about road safety, drunk driving, and the leniency of India's judicial system under the current provisions of the Motor Vehicles Act. According to Delhi Police, a PCR call was received at 1:45 am on July 9 in front of the Indian Oil petrol pump near Shiva Camp in Vasant Vihar. The call reported that a white Audi car had crushed people sleeping on the sidewalk. Police arrived at the scene and the injured were quickly taken to the hospital. The victims were identified as Ladhi (40), Bimla (8), Sabami (45), Narayani (35), and Ramchander (45). Initial investigations and eyewitness accounts revealed that Utsav Shekhar, who was returning from Noida to Dwarka, was drunk. His medical report also confirmed this. After the accident, he stopped the car for a moment, saw the injured, and then tried to flee, but his car collided with a truck, leading to his arrest by the police. Legal Action And Bail Delhi Police registered a case against Utsav Shekhar under Sections 281 (negligent driving) and 125(a) (intentionally dangerous driving) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, as well as Section 185 (drunk driving) of the Motor Vehicles Act. The vehicle was seized and sent for forensic examination. However, in a surprising turn of events, Utsav Shekhar was granted bail immediately from the local police station. The Indian judicial system allows bail in most cases except non-bailable offences. Offences under Sections 281 and 125(a) are bailable, and it is not uncommon to receive bail for a first offence under Section 185 as well. However, in this case, where five people were seriously injured, including an eight-year-old girl, the quick decision to grant bail has come under scrutiny. What Section 185 of the Motor Vehicles Act Says Section 185 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, categorises drunk driving as a serious offence. It stipulates that a person can be punished if the alcohol level in their blood exceeds 30 milligrams per 100 millilitres, or if they drive under the influence of intoxicants. The first offence can result in imprisonment of up to six months and/or a fine of up to Rs 10,000. For a second offence, the punishment can extend to imprisonment of up to two years and a fine of up to Rs 15,000. Despite this, the section is classified as a bailable offence, allowing the police or magistrate to grant bail. In Utsav Shekhar's case, although his medical report confirmed he was drunk, the fact that it was his first offence made the decision to grant bail legally possible. Nonetheless, this incident raises the question of whether the process of granting swift bail in such serious accidents needs to be more stringent. This incident also highlights significant social and legal implications regarding road safety, drunk driving, and socio-economic inequalities. Most of the victims were migrant labourers from Rajasthan, forced to sleep on the footpath. Conversely, the carelessness and drunk driving of a luxury car driver led to this tragedy. The incident has sparked outrage on social media, with some users attributing it to corrupt judges and a flawed system that easily grants bail to offenders.
