This is Aswini and Anish, two IT professionals who were returning home in Pune on May 19 when an unregistered Porsche, driving at 150 km/h in Kalyani Nagar, hit them. One of them died on the spot, and the other died during medical treatment.
The driver of the car was a 17-year-old minor, allegedly returning from a club after partying with friends to celebrate their 12th-grade results.
Why this is not just an accident but a murder:
1. The car was unregistered; the showroom delivered the car without registration.
2. The parents allowed a minor to drive without a license.
3. The club owner served alcohol and admitted a minor.
4. The traffic police failed to notice an unregistered, overs-peeding car on the road for months.
When the minor was arrested at midnight, he received VIP treatment. A local MLA came to his rescue, with a team of lawyers.
The bail condition was that he should write an essay, and his parents should ensure he doesn't repeat the same mistake.

Growing up: I lived in a la-la land that there is justice in the world.
In countries like India, there is no justice. There are just powerful people massaging their egos.
Solution: become capable, fuck this shit and go where you are treated best.
