New Delhi, Nov 11: A 38-year-old woman was killed and her daughter was seriously injured after their four-wheeler was hit by a speeding vehicle, which was allegedly being driven by an inebriated woman, in west Delhi's Punjabi Bagh area, police said on Saturday. The deceased was identified as Poonam Sardana and her daughter Chetanya (13).

The accident took place on the intervening night of Friday and Saturday.

On November 9, the police were informed about an accident on the Punjabi Bagh Flyover. Two damaged vehicles were found on the spot.

Sudhir Sardana along with his family, including Poonam and Chetanya, were returning from Chhatarpur Temple and driving towards their house in Adarsh Nagar when a vehicle bearing an Uttar Pradesh registration number lost control, jumped over the road divider and rammed their car, police said.

It was found that the erring vehicle was being driven by one Shivani Malik (22). She was accompanied by three of her friends, who allegedly had alcoholic drinks at Connaught Place, and were driving towards Gurugram, police added.

"It is suspected that Shivani was driving at a high speed. She lost control of the vehicle, and hit the divider before crossing over to the other lane and hitting Sardana's car from the rear-end," police said.

Shivani's vehicle then upturned over another car being driven by one Tarun Bajaj, who escaped with minor injuries, they added.

The injured were rushed to a hospital where Poonam Sardana (38) was declared brought dead while her 13-year-old daughter's eye was severely hurt. Poonam's cornea was used to give vision to her daughter, police said.

The accused, Shivani Malik, is a resident of Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh. She was allegedly inebriated and was on her way to Gurugram Club along with friends, deputy commissioner of police (west) Monika Bhardwaj said.

The accused woman works at a salon in Noida. She was arrested and a case was registered against her, officials said.

Indian women are considering as if they are western country women and feel proud to follow their life style.    Indian girls have started drining alcohol, dancing till late night, dressing little clothes, smoking , enjoying open sex, living with partner without marriage etc etc.  this is definately ruin our society.  However, girls of so called high society thinks this is the right way of living.  shame on you.  You are deserting your life and harm others also.   The reckless driver in this case should be penalised heavility and the amount be given to the close family of the deceased.

Panaji, Feb 9: RSS general secretary Suresh Bhaiyyaji Joshi on Saturday said that anybody who wants to work (in India) will have to do so with the Hindu community and for their empowerment.

Addressing a lecture on the topic "Vishwaguru Bharat, an RSS perspective" at Dona Paula in Panaji, Mr Joshi referred to his communication with an intellectual who had said that India should become a "supre-rashtra" in the year 2020.

"Anybody who wants to work (in India) will have to work with the Hindu commumnity by taking them along and for their empowerment. Hindus have witnessed the rise and fall of India since the time immemorial. India cannot be separated from (the) Hindu (community). Hindus have always been at the centre of this nation," Mr Joshi said in Marathi.

He also added that since Hindus are not communal or antagonist, "nobody should be reluctant to work for the Hindu community".

The RSS leader further said, "The world says India will become a superpower in 2020, but I remember my conversation with an intellectual who had said that India should become a super-rashtra (super nation) in 2020".

Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant was among those who attended the lecture.

"To create awareness and unity amongst Hindus does not amount to (taking) an action against others (community). No one should feel it that way. We can say with utter self confidence before the entire world that Hindus becoming strong won't result in destructive activities, but (such proposition) will work for the society and humanity," he added.

Invoking history, Mr Joshi said Hindus never invaded other countries. "Whatever wars (they had fought) were for self defence. Everyone has the right to self defence," he said.

"It is India's duty to teach the world to walk on the path of ''samanvay'' (coordination). Nobody else other than India and Hindus can do this," Mr Joshi said.

He said some communities in the world keep preaching that only their path is "great".

"But we are from the (Hindu) community which says that we have our own path so as you. When the world will accept this ideology, then all the issues would get solved. It is the duty of India to take the world on that path," he added.
