A GOOF-UP by the Greater Chennai Traffic Police's investigation team in handling blood and urine samples resulted in a biker, who ran over a young woman and her eight-month-old infant, receiving only a two-year prison sentence.
The biker was originally charged with culpable homicide, which carries a 10-year sentence, but a city trial court convicted him of a lesser charge last week.
Around 3 am on October 9, 2022, Poonguzhali and her daughter were hit by Nihal Tiwari (26) in Anna Nagar.
Tiwari was riding a high-end 390cc motorbike with Kiruthika Devi, the second accused in the case, on the pillion.
The Anna Nagar Traffic Investigation Wing's case argued that Tiwari was driving under the influence of alcohol.
Poonguzhali was killed instantly on impact.
