The Story in Brief
The family of 70-year-old Urmila Bhardwaj, who was crushed between vehicles in Narela last Saturday, has donated her eyes to an eye bank in Daryaganj. Her grandson Devesh said they wanted to give her a meaningful farewell by restoring sight to someone else. The family described her as a compassionate woman who spent her life caring for family and animals. She was feeding insects on the street when the crash occurred.
The accident happened around 8 am on a narrow road when a Mercedes-Benz collided head-on with a WagonR, pushing it into a parked three-wheeler where Bhardwaj stood. The Mercedes driver was granted bail as the charges are bailable. Devesh expressed anguish that the family has not been informed about the probe and that their statements remain unrecorded.
The Indian Opinion
Much coverage highlights the family’s noble eye donation, but the easy bail for the Mercedes driver and the family’s unanswered questions risk being buried under a heartwarming narrative. A fatal crash from alleged rash driving demands full accountability. Will the police now record the family’s statements and release the accused’s medical report?
