Rich
and famous are often portrayed as violent and inhumane !
Recently, IANS and other papers reported that the actor
Salman Khan did not possess a driving license when his car met with an accident
in 2002, an officer at Regional Transport Office (RTO) on Monday (February 16)
informed the Sessions court hearing the hit-and-run case. It was stated that the witness produced the records
of the actor’s driving license before the court when he was examined by Public
Prosecutor Pradeep Gharat. Khan's car
had rammed into a roadside shop in suburban Bandra, killing one person and
injuring four people, who were sleeping on the pavement, on the night of 28th Sept
2002. For years, his lawyers have
argued that Mr Khan was not driving the car.
Away
from this in a chilling instance, Daily Mail reports of an Indian millionaire
charged with murder after 'crushing security guard with his Hummer because he
was too slow to open the gates on his driveway' in India.
According to the
report, Tobacco tycoon Mohammed Nisham
has been accused of killing a security guard because he was too slow opening
the gates to his apartment complex in the Indian state of Kerala. Mohammed Nisham is accused of chasing the
guard with his SUV inside an apartment complex last month, squeezing him
against a wall before beating him with an iron rod. He was reportedly angry
over a delay in opening the gate after returning home late one night two weeks
ago. The 50-year-old guard, K Chandrabose, died later, after being in hospital on life-support in the
southern Indian state of Kerala.
Doctors treating
Chandrabose said 'his heart had not been functioning properly following the
impact of the internal injuries,' according to the Press Trust of India news
agency. Nisham was in custody in a jail near the town of Thrissur where he
lives, police official is quoted as
saying. He has had several police cases
filed against him, including one for allowing his nine-year-old son to drive a
Ferrari on a public road in 2013. He was granted bail on some cases and was
ordered to pay fines for others.
India's economic
boom has created a class of super-rich, whose excesses are frequently in the
news. When he was charged with allowing his son to drive the Ferrari F430,
police records showed he owned 18 high-end cars worth an estimated $4m (£2.6m),
including a Bentley and a Lamborghini. He let his son take the wheel of the
£127,000 supercar on his birthday - with nobody else in the vehicle except for
his six-year-old brother. The boy drove it for several hundred metres along a
road - all filmed by his proud family, who then uploaded the footage to
YouTube.
Kerala Police
registered a case against Nisham for uploading a video of an illegal act,
sending out a wrong message to the world and allowing a child to drive a
vehicle. The
ways of rich and famous are often …………………… and this is a seriously inhumane act
indeed ..sad.
