Chandigarh: A Chandigarh-based doctor has been booked under IPC section 304 (culpable homicide not amounting to murder) in connection with a road accident case, wherein, a female pillion rider died while the medical practitioner was driving in an intoxicated state.
The doctor was earlier booked under section 304A of IPC under the charges of death due to negligent driving which clearly means two years imprisonment along with a fine.
However, in recent progress, police have dropped the previous charges and will arrest the doctor once again under the new charges. The case is connected to a road accident that took place near 66KV light point on December 1, 2020.
In the accident, a woman was killed and her husband also received severe injuries. Thereafter, the doctor was placed under arrest for negligent driving on December 2nd, 2020. The medical examination of the doctor indicated that he was under the influence of alcohol while driving. Though the doctor was already arrested, he has now been booked again under new charges.
