In a shocking turn of events, a 24-year-old woman who ran over and killed a 55-year-old LIC agent with her Mahindra Thar in Kanpur over the weekend was granted bail on Diwali, sparking outrage from the victim's son. The accident occurred on November 7, when Santosh Singh Chauhan was returning home on his scooter after shopping for his wife's saree. The impact of Geeta Sachan's speeding SUV was so severe that Santosh died instantly. Geeta, who is a learner driver, lost control of her Thar and crashed into a garden. The occupants abandoned the damaged SUV and fled the scene, but were later identified as Geeta, her younger sister, and a man. The police initially registered a case against unidentified persons, but eventually arrested Geeta after the victim's family protested. However, on Diwali, she was released on bail from the police station, prompting the victim's son, Rahul Chauhan, to question the justice system. Rahul alleged that the police did not initially register Santosh's identity despite his family identifying him after the accident. The family also questioned whether Geeta possessed a valid driving licence and demanded accountability from her father if she was allowed to drive without one. The ACP responded by stating that Geeta had been arrested but granted bail because the offence carried a punishment of less than seven years, and promised to investigate any further complaints.
