Sometimes, it is also convenient for the police to close a case by saying the victim is drunk. In this case, which concerns a blind person, no one is going to question whatever the police say and no one will be interested as well.
Having said this, it is prudent to enquire with the family of the victim or his hostel mates or friends, who may offer us the real picture.

While there is no particular reason to suspect this, there is no reason to accept this result of your inquiry. This is for the first time we are being told that a victim of an accident had alcohol in his blood. Generally the suspect is tested for alcohol level in the blood to see if it is a case of drunk driving. Now let the victim be punished for drunk walking? We generally hear of somebody being run over by a vehicle, if your sources are authentic then the unfortunate victim did not die on account of the collision with the vehicle, he was found in the pit, isn't it? If someone has to be held responsible for such things, let it not be the powerful one. Let the money change hands. This is what matters today, money, or some other kind of power like being close to the administration or the politicians, isn't it? So we look for the softest target for accountability. Kill your fellow MP and blame the nuxalites, who are outlaws and therefore, can't speak for themselves legally. The question again is why was there a pit open and unbarricaded, for the alcoholics to jump in to it? We must think again, the case is weak, or the victim *was* weak. ----- Original Message ----- From: "harish kotian" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, March 05, 2007 3:22 PM Subject: [AI] Accident at Hyderabad > Hello all > > Regarding the unfortunate accident by a blind person who succumbed to an > accident after falling into a pit dug for built for constructing a flyover > at Hyderabad. > > I made some enquiries about it.
