Truck driver tries to mow down Delhi Police traffic chief, constable​
 :shock:
A truck driver allegedly attempted to run over a senior traffic police officer and a constable in the national capital on Tuesday night.

The incident took place near Kalindi Kunj area in south-east Delhi when joint commissioner of police (JCP) Satyendra Garg , who heads Delhi Traffic Police, was on rounds with DCP traffic (south) Premnath.

The driver of the sand-laden truck was indicated to stop near Sunlight Colony. However, instead of stopping, the driver sped up the vehicle and allegedly tried to crush Garg and constable Ravindra who accompanied the officer while he was overseeing vehicular diversion. The DCP and a constable accompanying him had a narrow escape.

The driver fled from the spot after the incident. The police have registered a case of attempt to murder against the driver. The constable was injured in the incident, but was reported to be out of danger.

The vehicle was impounded and its owner arrested. Hunt was on to nab the driver.

Owner is also responsible because it is a "Public Carrier". The vehicle doesn't belong to the DRIVER.....

Such incidents takes place because some people take bribe and the Driver was only trying to save some money.....but caught for some other reason. Also the Driver should have been booked for RASH driving and not attempt to murder.....

Nothing is going to happen to the Driver even if he is caught..... there is no LAW under Motor Vehicle Act, which forbids the driver from killing someone "unintentionally".

Well, here's an example, suppose you sell knives, someone buys your knife and kills someone, will the police arrest you? This is ridiculous.

Yeah, but why arrest him, if my employee kills someone, does that make me liable for the crime? Where's a lawyer when you need one, someone summon sumopathak...

Well its called vicarious liability what happens is that most of the time Employees are not in a condition to pay hence company/Employer pays the money
Also its not everytime company/employer pays say you are a computer engineer and yous crew somebody computer then company will pay on your behalf but during the course of employment if you punch somebody which is not a part of work assigned to you in your employment then you will pay
here driver's task is to drive tuck part of his employment hence he will have to pay

Yeah, get that, but why arrest him? They could just fine him(it was an accident and no property was damaged, so not sure who will receive the payment).

They mush have booked him for criminal charges anyway your logic is like saying I shoot at you and I miss so I shouldn't be charged with attempt to murder

AajTak said the truck had stopped when a constable indicated him, but rushed when documents were asked.

Umm no, the owner was NOT present in the vehicle, your logic is like this, suppose I am a TCS employee, I kill someone during my office hours outside of my office, now the police should arrest ratan tata(or cyrus).

Yes, I agree with you.
The Hindu says driver is arrested and owner isn't. :)

Who knows, this is the reward for hardworking police officers in India, just google 'Damayanti Sen' and see first few links, politicians rule this country, even judges are afraid of them, sad but true :|
