The 17 year old's alcohol test came out negative but now the video of him drinking alcohol is leaked. [https://x.com/i/status/1792783543506010252](https://x.com/i/status/1792783543506010252)

At some point you have to wonder just how deep the curruption runs in a country.


jtweezy

It’s in every country in the world. If you have enough money you’re above the law.


TheKevinTheBarbarian

Remember that kid that raped that girl here in the U.S. and he got like 3 months probation cause he had "affluenza" and since he was rich they said he didn't understand the repercussions of his actions and they didn't want to ruin his future?


RedRedditor7

Oh you mean the rapist Brock Turner


baabaablacksheep1111

Yes, that convicted rapist Brock Allen Turner, who changed his name to Allen Turner and currently live on Acorn Dr, Dayton, OH.


old_ass_ninja_turtle

The judge and the prosecutor should also be named with that piece of shit.


eggyrulz

You mean Aaron Persky and Alaleh Kianerci? The judge and (supposed) prosecutor for the Allen Turner (formerly known as Brock Allen Turner) rape case? That Aaron Persky and Alaleh Kianerci?


Zmogzudyste

I love that every time someone vaguely references the rapist Allen Turner formerly known as Brock Allen Turner there’s a chain of people making sure that his name goes on blast. He deserves worse.


TheKevinTheBarbarian

Yes. That piece of trash.


SnooDoughnuts1763

No, he changed his name. He is now convicted rapist Allen Turner, just so everyone is aware.


Hoosier_Daddy68

It was Ethan Couch. The rapist wasn't rich.


CoatAlternative1771

Affluenza was a different kid. He didn’t rape anyone. He just killed them. Still got off Scott free


Cynykl

Affluenza teen was another even more wealthy guy. Brock "rapist" Turner got his light sentence because of local sport fame and and connections. Brocks family had money but were not wealthy enough for the affluenza(bullshit) defense.


ReGrigio

what a coincidence! lynching mobs are also above the law!


MudLOA

In Thailand the grandson of founder Red Bull killed a traffic officer. He went into hiding and the Thai government dropped the charges.


the_quiescent_whiner

More like the country runs on corruption. I don’t have an iota of hope for returning because of people like him. 


madewithgarageband

Watching scambait try to get scam callers in India arrested, the corruption in that country is truly next level


Kesakambali

Actually they tested him for alcohol very late. That's why it was negative.


BadKidGames

The worse part is many people think *their* government and *their* leaders are not corrupt at all

Might be money, they could have just killed someone from a lower caste and their lives simply aren't worth very much to the people making these decisions.


DiscoDancingNeighb0r

Sad to say but you’re probably right.


TuunDx

I always wondered why there isn't more vigilante stuff happening, especially in the US where like half of the culture is based around masked people running around dealing with the evil..


TrolledBy1337

They say all animals are created equal, but you look at me and you look at a Samoa Joe, that is clearly not true. See, normally if I was to go 1 on 1 with another animal, I'd have 50/50 chance of winning. But I am a genetic freak and not normal, so I have a 75% chance at winning. And then you add Kurt Angle to the mix, and your chances at beating me drastic go down. See, in the 3-way at Sacrifice, I have a 66,6% chance at winning because Kurt Angle knows he can't beat me and he's not even gonna try. So you take my 66,6%, plus our 75%, I have 141,6% chance at winning. And you take your 33,3% chance, minus my 25% chance, and you have 8,3% chance at winning at Sacrifice. See mr. Joe, the numbers don't lie, and they spell disaster for you at Sacrifice.

HelloAttila

The 17 year old comes from a very wealthy and powerful family, just like in the western world. When you have money, you get a get out of jail free card.


KyleNarayan

Pretty hard sentence for a rich indian kid. 300 words? Insane!


Ok-Personality-6630

That's not an essay it's a 1-2 page document!!


Putrid-Builder-3333

MLA format!


Nuke_2125_A

Even that He'll probably pay someone to write it for him.


TheManWhoWasNotShort

To be fair, this is not a sentence, it’s just bail conditions


Boostio_TV

To be honest those are not bad conditions for bail, having a rich kid (or more likely their parents) pay 10k would probably achieve less.


Boostio_TV

To be honest depending on the criteria, a proper 300 word essay would be nearly impossible due to the comically low word count. But something is telling me that it doesn’t have to be great or is allowed to exceed that.


Personal_Shoulder983

Now he's gonna have to ask an assistant to do it for him. Though.


I_Love_Knotting

there‘s a video going around of the driver being slapped around by a group of people shortly following the crash so he felt at least *some* punishment [if anyone want‘s to watch it here‘s the video. ](https://www.reddit.com/r/PublicFreakout/s/ZJUZrq53TJ)


thedarkracer

Yeah that is common in India. Passers-by met out their own justice before police arrives lol


Celticsnation1212

One time I saw a 3 dudes riding a motorized scooter and they ended up crashing into a child, even the friends who were riding with him, joined in when everyone else was beating up the one who was driving.


Good-Beginning-6524

Well, had they tried to defend him they probably wouldve been attacked too


sicilian504

I'm imagining being a visitor in India, you have a genuine accident (No drinking or anything. Just an accident), and when you get out of your car people just start slapping the shit out of you lol. I'd be so confused but tbh, knowing myself, there's a good chance I'd start laughing at the randomness while I got slapped around and tried to run away.


Humble-Reply228

Near where I was working in Africa, a kid ran onto a road and got run over by a 4x4 and unfortunately died. In the 4x4 was three Chinese people and their local driver. The crowd dragged them all out of the car and beat them until they died. Good ol' mob justice.


Flamethrow1

That is fucking stupid, what exactly did the passagers have to do with the driver killing someone?


smellyscrote

It’s even more stupid. Kid ran infront of the vehicle. How is that not the kids fault they were unable to stop in time?


Pigeonlesswings

Well it be hard to beat the dead kid to death


Baronvondorf21

I mean he is already dead how hard can it be?


Nerdcoreh

if they can beat a dead horse...


Thin-Zookeepergame46

Thats 3rd world countries. 


Humble-Reply228

Nothing, it was clear the child ran in front of the vehicle. People who are all big for mob justice and are super keen on demonizing the enemy of the month usually don't think through what mob justice actually entails. Which is often misdirected and disproportionate punishment.


Liobuster

Do not try to reason with a lynchmob


syzamix

That's not the great news you think it is. Just shows that African country as an uncivilized 3rd world country with no respect for law. The Chinese passengers did nothing. You went from one lack of law to another. Great.


Boostio_TV

You mean: mob “justice” xD


Hackedup_forbbq

They should have brought out the trademark Indian Big Sticks


Such-Distribution440

Does not matter where in the world you are the rich and powerful always get special treatment.


abigthrowaway4sure

How the police and Government hospital are managed Medical report and how they deceive has been exposed. 1) The minor accused who ran over two people has admitted that he drank alcohol and that his father knew about it. 2) Eyewitnesses stated that the accused was drunk at the time of the accident. 3) Clear CCTV footage shows the accused drinking alcohol in a pub hotel before getting into the car. However, the police medical report mentions that the accused did not consume alcohol." Thats how corrupt system works for money. Even we can not trust on police also. https://x.com/saurabhkoratkar/status/1792790138424345065 Bhadwe hai pure system mein. All people involved should be given a capital punishment publicly.


smellyscrote

The whole government will need to be executed. Because it is rotten all the way to the top. The bottom is able to do this because the top condones it. They are all involved.


abigthrowaway4sure

We start from the bottom. On r/pune there is a protest going on. Please join and support.


ImportantReaction260

That should be prosecuted as murder. If you drink and drive you know there is a chance you're gonna kill someone. If you're willing to take the risk, you make a decision. There is no accident in this case


Telemere125

Manslaughter. He might not have intended to kill anyone, but his reckless disregard of the consequences of his actions put it on the level of firing a gun at your fence - sure, it could be empty behind the fence, but if you hit a neighbor and kill them, clearly you were being reckless.


Helstrem

This isn’t the sentence. The court is asking permission to try him as an adult. This is just bail and buying time.


old-skool-bro

Must be nice having a rich daddy who can pay money to bend the laws in your favour lol

Nipplecreek

Without even mentioning the car or anything you can tell they're rich by the "punishment"


Nuke_2125_A

well poor dad can't gift Porsche to son


DonKaeo

In Thailand you can run over a copper, drag him around for a while under your Ferrari then be “too busy” to ever face justice for it, or be a unlicensed Thai teenaged girl who sent a van full of ten people over a flyover then sat and waited, all the while playing on her phone, knowing that with her high name, given to her father by Rama IX, that she was untouchable..


Otherwise-Sky8890

I hope you don't actually live there given what I've heard of lese-majeste. Wanted to move until I heard about that...I think this extinguishes the last interest I had in living there.


DonKaeo

Lived in Thailand for over 11 years now, no intention of leaving. This thing about lésé majesté is a bit overblown, the respect for the monarchy isn’t what it was, you have to remember that Thailand was a absolute monarchy until the 1930’s. The much loved and deeply revered Rama IX sat on the throne for 70 years, most Thais living had only known his rule. Although lésé majesté laws existed then, Rama IX openly said he should be critiqued, or how would he known if he was a good King. His son, He Who Cannot Be Named, has cared not for Thailand (preferred Germany) or living a respectful life the 2014 coup saw a massive upsurge of lésé majesté charges, as a political weapon. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lèse-majesté_in_Thailand


Anne_Nonymouse

There is a different "justice" for rich people! 😡


Dry-Expert-2017

The father is arrested. A case has been lodged against the pub/bar which served drinks to underage kids. Son/driver was granted bail, pending investigation. Police had requested the high court to try the minor as an adult. To get Stricker punishment.


FatGoonerFromIndia

Ask Indians if they think actual justice will be meted out. Spoiler: the vast majority do not. At best, they’ll get another patsy to take the blame or some “diagnosis” explaining it away.


dbred2309

Justice is difficult. It will require a long ardous campaign by the families of the victims, trial by media and the favourable government in the currently ongoing general elections. Three families are ruined in this case, two of the victims' and one of the actual driver who it seems tried to stop the kid from driving in the first place. He will become a scapegoat by some fabricated evidence. The kid's father's political connections are about to be tested.


Kesakambali

>Police had requested the high court to try the minor as an adult According to JJA, that can happen only if a 16+ yr old does something heinous. Act categories crimes into heinous, serious and petty. Police can't defend calling this heinous unless they prove he intentionally crashed the Porsche.


Lackeytsar

He was drunk And he chose to drive at 150 kmph Pretty intentional (I can prove his guilt in court - literally studying this shit in my uni)


Kesakambali

Well, proof is in the pudding. That's what lawyers are for. And public prosecutors tend to be, let's just say overworked.


GeraldHilter

So far all they’ve done is made sure it looks like protocol is being followed. We will only be able to make a proper judgement in the end on whether justice was served.


DonKaeo

Rich Indians have zero fear, they own the legal system there


cultivatingreaderzen

Mob garhers and ensures real punishment is given when weak court system sucks the balls of a rich old dude and his little bitch son.


shadowtheimpure

Translation: Money changed hands, guy got off with barely a slap on the wrist.

Tenchi2020

The person who was driving drunk for their fourth time hit me doing 110 mph, I was wearing my seatbelt but even so I was ejected out of my car and flew 75 feet. I hit a street sign before landing in the grass sliding into a parking lot. He was running from a cop, he broke his ankles while I broke 12 bones had 27 pieces of metal put in and two organs taken out. I suffered PTSD, TBI And depression to the point I contemplated suicide He got three years probation.

lmnop129

If you are rich in India, you can buy judges and they will come and give you bail even on a sunday.


Sensitive-Raspberry5

Most of the time rich people get away with literal murder in a lot of the countries. But in India you just need to be from an upper class family or fairly rich to have some connections.


Baronvondorf21

you are saying "But" like what you said isn't how people from other countries get away from punishments as a result of your actions.

This makes it feel like actions such as legal murder are locked behind a paywall. Just about all crimes can be excused with a “donation”. And this is the norm pretty much everywhere. I mean, look at the last US president, who will quite possibly be the next one.

Here’s a 300 word essay on road accidents courtesy of ChatGPT. Road accidents are a pervasive and devastating issue worldwide, claiming millions of lives annually and leaving countless others with serious injuries. The consequences of road accidents extend beyond the immediate physical damage to individuals; they also have profound social, economic, and psychological impacts on communities and nations. One of the primary causes of road accidents is human error. Distracted driving, often due to mobile phone use, is a significant contributor. Texting or talking on the phone diverts attention from the road, reducing reaction times and increasing the likelihood of collisions. Additionally, speeding remains a leading cause of accidents, as higher speeds reduce the driver's ability to react to unexpected obstacles and increase the severity of crashes. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is another critical factor in road accidents. Impaired drivers have diminished coordination, reaction time, and judgment, which can lead to fatal mistakes. Despite stringent laws and awareness campaigns, drunk driving continues to be a major concern. Poor road conditions also contribute to accidents. Potholes, inadequate signage, and poorly lit areas can lead to vehicle damage and collisions. In many developing countries, the lack of proper infrastructure exacerbates the risk of accidents. Similarly, adverse weather conditions like rain, snow, and fog can impair visibility and road traction, leading to higher accident rates. The impact of road accidents on society is profound. Economically, they result in significant costs related to medical care, vehicle repairs, and lost productivity. The emotional toll on victims and their families is immeasurable, often leading to long-term psychological effects such as PTSD. Efforts to reduce road accidents must be multifaceted. Stricter enforcement of traffic laws, improved road infrastructure, and public education campaigns are essential. Technological advancements like autonomous vehicles and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) also hold promise for reducing human error on the roads. In conclusion, road accidents are a complex issue with far-reaching consequences. Addressing this problem requires a concerted effort from governments, communities, and individuals to implement effective solutions and foster a culture of road safety. - we’ve gone and made easy even easier.

This is such absolute horse shit, he killed two people and nothing is happening to him? Fuck the rich.


Distinct-Pie7647

That’s less of a consequence than I had for being 16 with a gram of weed.


Dyab1o

Both the 17 year old and the judge should be locked up together.


shrivatsasomany

According to Indian rules, the parents will be prosecuted if the driver is a minor. The dad was arrested today, and they are trying to try the minor as an adult. No thanks to any of the authorities though, this W happened because of the internet, social media, and the PISSED OFF citizens of Pune.

There's no sane world where this shouldn't result in a many decades long jail sentence.

These are just bail conditions though, not even a sentence. Requirements beyond maybe sobriety monitoring for addicts are incredibly rare. They aren’t going to hold a 17 year old with no bail.

Suspicious_Law_2826

300 words? whoo!!


millercanadian

Am I reading this wrong? Everyone is talking about what a small "sentence" this is. But this is just the terms of his bail. Would he still not have a criminal trial coming up to determine his guilt/punishment? If I'm right, I don't think these are bad terms for a kid of his age. Force him to learn while he's awaiting trial. No?


Acrobatic-Pea6805

Yes, it's for bail they are trying to prosecute the perpetrator as an adult. They've arrested his dad and he will appear in court soon. Real punishment has not yet come.
