Overview

  • A Gandhinagar court granted bail to Vatsal Kariya on July 18 even as prosecutors continue probing his July 17 BMW crash that killed 70-year-old scooter rider Mukulraj Mohanbhai Mishra.
  • CCTV footage from Delhi’s Rohini area shows a sedan striking two pedestrians and fleeing, and Delhi Police have launched a manhunt for the driver who left the victims seriously injured.
  • Harshraj Singh Gohil, the 20-year-old son of an ASI in Bhavnagar, remains in custody after his SUV, driven at 120-150 km/h during a street race, killed two pedestrians and injured two more earlier this week.
  • Witnesses and preliminary police statements suggest intoxication and excessive speed contributed to the Gandhinagar crash, and similar factors have emerged in other luxury-car collisions.
  • The incidents have renewed public calls for stricter bail practices, tougher traffic law enforcement and expanded pedestrian safety measures.
