In New Delhi, a hardworking gardener named Rajesh, who provided for his family, tragically lost his life on Saturday while cycling to work in Bhogal. A speeding car struck him, not only ending his life but also shattering the hopes and dreams of his wife and two children. Rajesh's death is part of a concerning trend where drivers of unidentified vehicles are involved in accidents, resulting in delayed justice as the culprits often secure bail and cases get delayed in the legal system. Hit-and-runs account for over 40% of accidents in the city, with many drivers believing they can avoid consequences by using legal assistance or fearing public retribution. To address this issue, more than just the Good Samaritan law is needed. Through collaboration between traffic and local police, efforts have been made to reduce hit-and-runs by identifying trouble spots and increasing police presence. Despite progress, statistics show a high number of fatalities from accidents involving unknown vehicles, prompting the need for continued enforcement to prevent such tragedies.During the period between January and May 2023, several major roads in the national capital, including Ring Road, National Highway (NH) 24, NH 8, Rohtak Road, GTK Road, and Mathura Road, have witnessed a high number of fatal accidents. These roads are listed among the top 10 thoroughfares where the most lethal incidents have occurred this year. In the past, hit-and-run cases were prosecuted under IPC Section 304A, which carried a maximum punishment of two years imprisonment. With the introduction of Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita Section 106(2), the maximum sentence has been increased to 10 years. Despite this change, the lack of awareness about the new law may be preventing it from effectively deterring such incidents.
