Kanpur Court Grants Bail to Woman in Fatal Thar Accident, Revises Charges
A 23-year-old woman, Geeta Sachan, was involved in a fatal accident in Kanpur on November 7, when her speeding Mahindra Thar struck and killed 60-year-old Santosh Singh Chauhan. Initially charged with murder, the court criticized the police for procedural errors and granted her bail, citing insufficient grounds for arrest. The murder charge was later dropped and replaced with culpable homicide not amounting to murder. The victim's family continues to seek justice amid ongoing investigation.
