July 22, 2025 | Ahmedabad, Gujarat
The son of a Gujarati police officer is accused of hitting and killing two pedestrians in a terrifying CCTV footage while racing another vehicle on the public roads of Ahmedabad. The victims died on the spot, and the sheer recklessness of the act — now seen by thousands via viral video — has ignited anger and sparked serious questions about youth behavior, privileged impunity, and road safety in India.
The tragedy unfolded in a matter of seconds. In the CCTV footage, the white SUV is seen accelerating at dangerous speed, weaving through a narrow road where people were walking. Within moments, it plows through two unsuspecting individuals, throwing their bodies several feet away.
The accused is reported to be a teenage son of a senior Gujarat police officer, and was allegedly racing a friend’s vehicle when the crash occurred. Eyewitnesses claimed neither car stopped after the impact.
🚨 Racing On Public Roads: A Deadly Game
According to locals, late-night racing on that particular stretch of road has become worryingly common. Despite previous complaints, there has been no significant traffic policing or night patrolling in the area.
“We saw the white SUV almost flying. A loud sound was heard, followed by silence. When we rushed out, two men were lying on the ground, lifeless,” said a nearby shopkeeper whose CCTV camera caught the fatal moment.
Both deceased victims were locals returning home from work — daily wage earners who had no reason to expect death from the wheels of privilege and recklessness.
💬 Personal Insight
As someone who has reported for five years on public interest stories, road safety issues, and community concerns, this incident is not unfamiliar to me. Across Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, and Gujarat, I’ve covered similar tragic cases where reckless youth behavior, coupled with powerful family backgrounds, led to fatal accidents.
What strikes me most is the pattern — late-night driving, high-end vehicles, unsupervised minors, and zero fear of consequences. While families of the victims mourn in silence, the accused often receive lenient treatment, especially when connected to law enforcement or politics.
We are not just witnessing a road accident. We are watching the collision of carelessness and impunity, where the victims are always the innocent.

The Gujarat police have confirmed that the accused is being investigated, though details of charges or arrests remain unclear. Public trust demands that this case not fall into the trap of slow or selective justice.
More broadly, India needs stronger:
Night patrolling in urban areas
Restrictions on underage and unsupervised driving
Installation of speed detectors and traffic cams in vulnerable zones
Awareness campaigns about the cost of thrill driving
📌 Conclusion
The tragic deaths caused by a speeding white Creta SUV driven by a privileged teen are not just a moment of grief — they are a national alarm bell.
Every time such an incident occurs, it highlights the gap between power and responsibility. How many more lives must be lost before we begin to hold people — regardless of their status — accountable for their actions?
