Owner is also responsible because it is a "Public Carrier". The vehicle doesn't belong to the DRIVER.....

Such incidents takes place because some people take bribe and the Driver was only trying to save some money.....but caught for some other reason. Also the Driver should have been booked for RASH driving and not attempt to murder.....

Nothing is going to happen to the Driver even if he is caught..... there is no LAW under Motor Vehicle Act, which forbids the driver from killing someone "unintentionally".

Well, here's an example, suppose you sell knives, someone buys your knife and kills someone, will the police arrest you? This is ridiculous.

Well , I think since the driver wasn't caught , they'll go to the owner.

Yeah, but why arrest him, if my employee kills someone, does that make me liable for the crime? Where's a lawyer when you need one, someone summon sumopathak...

Well its called vicarious liability what happens is that most of the time Employees are not in a condition to pay hence company/Employer pays the money
Also its not everytime company/employer pays say you are a computer engineer and yous crew somebody computer then company will pay on your behalf but during the course of employment if you punch somebody which is not a part of work assigned to you in your employment then you will pay
here driver's task is to drive tuck part of his employment hence he will have to pay

Yeah, get that, but why arrest him? They could just fine him(it was an accident and no property was damaged, so not sure who will receive the payment).

They mush have booked him for criminal charges anyway your logic is like saying I shoot at you and I miss so I shouldn't be charged with attempt to murder

Lets call this a loophole in motor vehicle act.

AajTak said the truck had stopped when a constable indicated him, but rushed when documents were asked.

Umm no, the owner was NOT present in the vehicle, your logic is like this, suppose I am a TCS employee, I kill someone during my office hours outside of my office, now the police should arrest ratan tata(or cyrus).

Yes, I agree with you.
The Hindu says driver is arrested and owner isn't.

Who knows, this is the reward for hardworking police officers in India, just google 'Damayanti Sen' and see first few links, politicians rule this country, even judges are afraid of them, sad but true

After reading the last few posts,

Yes ! He has been transferred to Mizoram. (He posted it on FB to clear the confusion.)

Even Kiran Bedi was also transferred to Mizoram. And she was also transferred the next day itself to Goa when she impounded Indira Gandhi's Car.

On topic: I think that driver was ony trying to save money. The bribe taking culture among police is the reason behind this incident.

<This is my personal opinion>
