    This is indeed a very serious offence. After the tragedy, it was expedient for the driver to render First Aid. Instead he has driven away It is only a question of time before the person is apprehended and booked.

    Tragic and very sad.To run over fifteen people and injur so many people ,later fled from spot is a very racing case.He fled also .No mercy, running over foot path means he was certainly drunken,road was not broad enough to him?very sad about the boy.Fellow had absolutely either no licence,or drunk.when he is being caught ,cancel his licence throw him in prison for life long .make him to pay penalty to the family.Heartfelt sympathy to the family.Hope atleast the others survive without any health problems and get well soon.
