A Chapter of Accidents
Three Doon School boys, speeding in a Honda City car after the end of their Std XII board exams, were allegedly involved in an accident that killed one person and left another on life support. Ironically, the man who died in the accident had been a schoolteacher. Apparently, according to the police,
the boys were involved in a car race with other students, including some girls of another well-known school, after attending a party post the annual Class XII ISC examination. Some eyewitnesses brought this to the notice of the police, which also learnt that Walia, who was allegedly driving the car, had been egged on by the other two friends to drive fast. Consequently, the car hit the motorcycle.The students had originally organised the party at Opel Restaurant on Rajpur Road. However, after learning about the presence of two Doon School teachers there, they shifted the venue to a farmhouse on the same road.
According to the school principal Kanti Bajpai, the boys were not under school jurisdiction. “These three students were not living in the school hostel but outside in town… due to a disciplinary decision taken earlier about them by the school.”
Had the boys been drinking? The fond parent of one of the boys named in the accident denies this. She denies also that any of the boys had been at the wheel. According to her, it was the driver who had been driving the car when the accident took place.
Oh no this is so depressing. Another stupid rich kids gone wild scenario. They’ve already set it up for the driver to take the rap.
Isn’t there a Friends Against Drunk Driving Association that we can set up/join to protest this? I hate the thought of these rich kids getting away with killing people.
