IndiaA city court in Chennai has convicted Shaji Purushothaman, heir to the EMPEE Group, in a 2013 drunk driving case that resulted in the death of a 13-year-old boy and injuries to several others. The incident occurred when Purushothaman, along with three others, allegedly consumed alcohol and drove recklessly, causing a collision with a police vehicle, a motorcycle, and a bus shelter. The prosecution presented evidence including a medical certificate confirming Purushothaman's intoxication and testimonies from witnesses and co-passengers identifying him as the driver. Despite claims by Purushothaman that another individual was driving, the court found insufficient evidence to support this, leading to his conviction. The case highlights issues around accountability and legal procedures in handling such incidents.
