Demonic drunk driving
Yet another gruesome case of drunk driving. This time the accused is a top corporate lawyer, Janhavi Gadkar, working with the Reliance Industries, driving an Audi, after downing two to six pegs of whiskey (depending on different reports), on the wrong side of the Eastern Express Freeway. The victims — a cab driver and a father of a son who had just passed his Class X exams. The two were killed instantly while remaining family seated in the back had to watch the horror but escaped with injuries.
Reports also indicate the 35-year-old lawyer tried to bribe her way out. She has also given a statement admitting that she was inebriated. The victim's family had stepped out to celebrate their son's success and were on their way back from a Dhaba outing. Janhavi was returning after celebrating at Marine Plaza on Marine Drive for a new contract for her office. All I am wondering is if you can afford to party at Marine Plaza, drive an Audi, are above average in intelligence and achievements — why can't you or your friend have the sense to call a driver to drive you home?
Will this be one of those cases where the accused — whether convicted or not — like a super star we know — remain out of jail and carry on as if nothing happened? Now the police plans Nakabandis all days of the week.
