A couple of days ago, three women, all highly placed IT employees, drove a car at top speed, and killed a poor man, in Chennai, at night. The lady on the wheel at that time, happens to be the daughter of an industrialist. She was high on booze and this was confirmed by the police as well.
The man is dead and gone and reports were there in the press, that the family did not have money to even conduct the funeral properly. The girl's photograph was published, she was arrested, but money makes several wonders in India, and she will happily come out on bail.
Instead of the horrible court case, that could even take up to ten years or more, why not make the rich family pay something like 25 lakh to the poor family, even before the court case was decided? Should we not have a law where such payment is made within ten days?
