New Delhi: A young executive working for a multi-national company was driving his BMW at 120 km per hour in Delhi when he crashed into an Uber cab on Sunday night, killing its driver instantly.
It was Nazrul Islam's first day as an Uber driver. The 30-year-old was the only earning member of a family that includes his wife, two little children and his grandmother.
24-year-old Shoaib Kohli, who was driving the BMW, was let off on bail today, less than 24 hours after his arrest on Monday.
Both cars, headed from Kalkaji to Vasant Kunj, were almost completely wrecked.
Scores of cab drivers protested outside the police station near the accident spot. Sandeep Kumar, who has been driving an Uber for six months, said: "Our driver has died, and the accused gets bail in one day. How is that fair?"
Nazrul had recently lost a job with another cab company. One of his children is in Class 2 and the other is in playschool. Nazrul's wife works as a domestic help.
