The Story in Brief
A 70-year-old woman, Urmila, was killed on Saturday morning when a Mercedes and a WagonR collided head-on in Delhi's Narela. The impact pushed the WagonR into a parked three-wheeler, trapping Urmila, who died on the spot. The WagonR driver suffered minor injuries.
NDTV reports that the Mercedes driver, Shubham, son of a Haryana Police sub-inspector, was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving. A beer bottle was seen inside the car, though a medical report is pending. The Times of India confirms the collision and bottle but does not name the driver or mention an arrest. Police have registered a case of fatal accident and sent the body for postmortem.
The Indian Opinion
This case risks being framed as another 'luxury-car menace' story, but the actual test is the medical report. Until it confirms intoxication, allegations of drunk driving remain unproven. The driver's family connection adds heat but not light, what matters is whether speed and alcohol caused the collision. A straightforward traffic investigation, not moral panic, will settle this.
