    Police must to do regular check for rash driving. Drunken driving over-speeding must, be check dinto. And guilty drivers must be arrested and punished in such a way that no one will ever repeat this crime, Feeling sad for the lost life May God punish the criminal who drove so fast

    As per my friends that driver was fully drunk. Now because of him the family of the victims are affected. Asif should be punished with the charges of murder

    I am interested to see what punishment will Asif get for this unacceptable crime. It's evident incident and no CID / CBI investigation required. What our law and order will sentence for this criminal for his life time inhuman behaviour. Will this incdident will cool down and everythign will be forgotten after few days, just leaving Srinivas's family to loose them one of their family member, or will it teach a lesson to Asif giving him at least a life time prison. No hope, but just a ray of hope on law and order...

    Careless lorry driver must be punished severely. Hope those injured would recover fast, deep regrets for the person who lost his life.

    Extremely sad and avoidable tragedy...
    Asif like drivers are plenty on our vulnerable roads...
    Speed and lack of foresight on roads always kill many lives...
    Civilian roads are not race tracks...
    All have right of way...
    Please strive to allow all to reach home....
