My friends cousin in India ran over a 2 year old beggar kid who came running into the road and he did not have time to stop. 3 Lakhs to the parents, 5 Lakhs to the Cops. The case was never registered.
Ironically like Salman Khans case he had to flee the scene too because all the beggars started picking up Bricks and stones and were enclosing the car.
But for the most part, if you have contacts, you can get away with almost anything in a country like India.
