If the police had done their job, five-year-olds Hawari Alman Kadir and Aditya Prajapati would have been alive today. Hours before the two kids were mowed down by a truck driver, the same man had knocked down a biker whose arm got fractured in the accident. Instead of taking action, cops simply looked the other way, and the trucker walked scot-free.

While passers-by took the biker to the hospital, the police did not even conduct a breathalyser test or file a complaint against the truck driver. All this, despite the pleas from witnesses that he should be detained or at least tested for alcohol. The police stated that no complaint had been filed as the injured did not return to the police station post the accident.
