The Hindu : Cities / Bangalore : When conscience also flees the spot: "It occurs with depressing frequency, and the trend is on the rise: a vehicle knocks down a motorist, a cyclist or a pedestrian, and speeds away, leaving the hapless victim to fend for himself. And more often than not, the culprit is not traced.
According to statistics furnished by the Bangalore Traffic Police, 2,006 hit-and-run cases were reported in 2011 with 299 fatalities, compared with 1,935 cases (273 deaths) in 2010 and 1,731 (198 deaths) in 2009. These figures mark more than a 30 per cent increase in fatalities in the last three years."
