Uncontrolled or then should I say unsuppressed road rage claimed it's latest victim late yesterday in the Mumbai suburb of Kalyan........
Yes you did indeed hear it right, 54 year old pathologist Doctor Mayur Mehta became than nation's latest road rage victim/ casualty or then should I say statistic as a 18 year old assailant who seemed to know no better firstly pummelled the noted doctor into submission in full public view and then whipped out a knife and repeatedly stabbed him thereby reducing him to nothing more than a profusely bleeding and quivering mass of humanity.......
His alleged or only crime if one call it that in the first place was that his scooter inadvertently brushed against the rear portion of the 18 year old assailant's motorcycle, initially leading to a heated argument and scuffle between the two.......
Eyewitnesses who tried to mediate between the two and make them see better sense either stood their ground or then made themselves scarce as soon as they saw the young assailant whip out a knife, they did show the alacrity and presence of mind to summon an ambulance and rush the good doctor to a nearby hospital, but it all proved to be too little and too late as the eminent pathologist succumbed to his grievous stab wounds within two hours of being admitted to the hospital........
The Kalyan police have registered a case of assault and murder against the 18 year old assailant on the basis of numerous eye witness accounts, the assailant however still remains at large despite the police's earnest efforts to nab him at the earliest...........
One wonders whether a thorough psychological profiling/test should be made mandatory in all new cases of driving licences (either learners' or permanent) being issued to teen aged applicants as the same would not only highlight or give clear indications towards the applicants propensity towards going into a raving rage at the slightest of provocations and also act as a speed breaker or deterrent against the growing tendency of grievously wounding one of the parties involved in almost all fracases on roads/highways...........
