Sriram Venkataraman's drunken overspeed driving kills journalist

The car accident in which a poor journalist on his motor-bike was pathetically killed by present Kerala state survey director and former Devikulam Sub-collector Sriram Venkitaraman who was in a highly inebriated condition (according to eye witnesses) is very sad and shocking. This incident will be very difficult for the people of the state to believe as Dr Sreeram venkattaraman was loved and backed by majority of the Malayalees as he was considered as an upright officer who preached to practice the law of the land strictly with his stern stand against the land encroachment sharks in Munnar during his previous term as the sub-collector.

According to media and eyewitness reports, in the wee-hours of today, a Volkswagen car driven at high speed by Sriram Venkataraman with a woman beside him collided with a bike ridden by the ill-fated journalist from Malappuram named K M Basheer working as the bureau chief of a Malayalam daily news paper Siraaj in Thiruvananthapuram.

At a time when the central government had passed days before 'The motor vehicle (Amendment) Act 2017' with stringent punishments for offences committed while driving on roads, drunken driving by a responsible person like Sriram Venkitaramen is highly contemptible. As culprits usually do, he too tried to deny the fact to escape the severe consequences, saying that his woman friend was driving the car. But eyewitnesses rebuked this claim. And the cctv captures are to be examined by police. His hasty steps to send the woman to her home by a call taxi has also increased the doubts in the minds of the people that whether she was also drunk!

With this incident, the image in the minds of some law abiding people of Kerala for Dr Sriram venkattarame IAS has broken as he, who used to act as a strict officer in implementing law and order has become a cruel killer of an innocent person by not abiding the same law of the land. People are asking whether this is the dark private side of a public celebrity figure...?

  1. What is the relevance of Ankush Dhiman's comment to this post?

    Coming back to the subject, Sriram threw away all the goodwill earned earlier by his irresponsible and rash act!
