Lawyer Janhavi Gadkar, who in 2015 while working at Reliance Industries as an in-house lawyer killed two while allegedly driving drunk in Mumbai, will likely appear in court on 20 September when charges against her will be framed, reported the Times of India:
The charges against Gadkar include Indian Penal Code (IPC) sections for culpable homicide not amounting to murder, voluntarily causing hurt by dangerous weapons or means, rash driving, causing grievous hurt, as well as sections of the Motor Vehicles Act. If convicted, she may have to serve at least seven years in jail.
The police had in August filed a 560-page chargesheet against Gadkar, including 57 witness statements, with lab tests having reportedly found 190ml of blood alcohol, which is six times the allowed limit.

Lets just let her be. Give her a beer may be.
I am sure that she is repenting, but she also needs to face the consequences of her actions.
I would call this a perfect trap as state allows sale of alcohol and then holds the one consuming it responsible for what happens next be it driving under influence of alcohol or an accident. Hilarious!!!!
