Just two weeks before he would have turned six, Gorai resident Sarthak Kolekar and his 65-year-old grandfather were mowed down by a speeding Volkswagen as the family was returning home. Such was the impact that the boy was thrown in the air and his grandfather was flung across the road.

The driver did not even bother to stop and had to be chased down by locals and passers-by on bikes. The police then confirmed that he was driving drunk, heading home after a party. Just because one man made the irresponsible decision to drive in an inebriated condition, two lives have been snuffed out, young parents have lost their child and the entire family has been shattered.
