    This is murder, homicide. Call it whatever else you want in addition. This is complete failure of police department to instill fear of the law, self restraint, discipline in drivers. What is MLA, MP, DMIC, RTO, DC doing about so many such accidents ?

    Rest in peace Brother. So many incidents happening every day still it's not under control. Some conductors and drivers are holding licence to kill people and not to drive vehicle safely. Over taking really needed to reach early? It's a big stupidity act of killing.
