Opinion: The driver’s arrest is a blow to personal liberty

Hindustan Times  

While the shock of the tragic drowning of three civil-services aspirants still lingers, the outrageous police action of arresting Manuj Kathuria for driving his vehicle through the flooded street where the unfortunate incident took place was a horrifying blow to the personal liberty of a citizen. Kathuria has also received bail upon an appeal at the Tis Hazari court, against the magisterial court’s denial of the same earlier in response to opposition from the Delhi Police. The magistrate rejected the bail application without addressing the absolute lack of causal connection between Kathuria’s driving and the fatal flooding or any knowledge on the part of Kathuria that his driving would cause the death of three students studying in the basement of one of the buildings by flooding. Further, then the denial of bail by the magistrate without even considering the basic ingredients of the criminal charge, such as complicity, knowledge, remoteness, and parameters of grant of bail, deprived Kathuria of his personal liberty for however short a time.
