Accused woman granted bail after man dies in Thar vehicle accident

A serious road accident occurred on the night of Nani Diwali in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, resulting in the death of a 50-year-old man. The accused woman, Geet Sachan, who was driving the Thar vehicle, was arrested by the police, but she was subsequently granted bail from the police station itself. The family members of the deceased have raised serious questions regarding the police action in this matter.

According to reports, Santosh Singh, a resident of the Awas Vikas area of Kalyanpur, was returning home on a scooty after purchasing a saree for his wife. During this time, Geet Sachan, daughter of Balu Contractor Guddu Sachan, was driving a Thar vehicle at a very high speed. Geet Sachan's vehicle hit Santosh Singh with great force and dragged him, leading to Santosh Singh's death at the spot. The Thar vehicle used in the accident has been seized by the police.

Following the incident, a video has gone viral on social media. In this video, it can be seen that after the accident, Geet Sachan gets out of the car and continues shouting while walking away, while the body of Santosh Singh lay right beside her. Subsequently, some people arrive in another car, and Geet Sachan leaves the spot in that car. Geet Sachan had returned from studies in Italy and was learning to drive her father's Thar vehicle.

Rahul Singh, the son of the deceased and a manager in Lucknow, has made serious allegations against the police regarding the entire matter. Rahul Singh created a commotion at the post-mortem house and staged a protest by sitting on a hunger strike. Rahul claims that the woman who caused the accident did not possess a driving licence. He further stated that the woman who extinguished the lamps of his home by killing his father before Diwali has been released due to police collusion and is celebrating Diwali at her home.

Family members have also alleged that after the accident occurred at 8 pm, even though the family had identified the deceased, the police recorded the body as 'unidentified'. Rahul Singh claims that the police deliberately filed a case under an unidentified name to protect the accused woman.

Clarifying the matter, ACP Dilip Singh stated that the accused woman, Geet Sachan, was arrested. However, as per the law, since the punishment for this offence is less than 7 years, she was granted bail from the police station itself. The ACP added that the police are currently conducting a detailed investigation into the case. If the family members have any other complaints, they can submit a written application, which will be made part of the investigation. The vehicle has been seized by the police and legal proceedings are underway.
