The Story in Brief
An Army jawan was killed and four others injured, one critically, when a speeding car struck pedestrians in Hyderabad’s Narsingi area. Siasat.com reports the incident occurred on Sunday night, while Deccan Chronicle places it on Monday morning. Police say the car was driven on the wrong side by a group of five youths who were allegedly drunk. The suspects abandoned the vehicle and fled. Narsingi police have registered a case and are examining CCTV footage to identify the occupants.
The Indian Opinion
The usual outrage over drunken driving will flare, but the real test is whether police trace the five occupants who fled. It is still only an allegation that they were drunk, the forensic report and CCTV footage must confirm that. Hyderabad has seen many such crackdowns; what matters is whether this case leads to a conviction that sticks, or joins the pile of forgotten FIRs.
