The news is related to a tragic incident after heavy rains in Delhi
The news is related to a tragic incident after heavy rains in Delhi. BharatPe founder, Ashneer Grover, shared his experience on social media, saying that his car drove through the waterlogged streets of Delhi. During this, he sarcastically said that he had been told that he could be held responsible for the “carnage”.
The comment refers to a recent incident in which an SUV driver has been blamed for the death of three civil service aspirants. The incident took place in the basement of a coaching center, which was flooded due to heavy rains. The court has refused to grant bail to the driver, as CCTV footage shows that the driver drove fast on the already submerged road, causing water to flow into the basement of the coaching center and three people lost their lives.
Judicial Magistrate Vinod Kumar said that video footage shows that the accused was also warned by some passersby not to drive fast, but he ignored it, leading to the accident. Therefore, the court considered it a serious offense and refused to grant bail.
