Accused Teenager Detained by JJ Marg Police
The 15-year-old boy responsible for the accident has been detained by the JJ Marg police, along with his father, Javed Shafiq Ahmed Sheikh. The authorities have registered a case under section 304(2) of the Indian Penal Code and sections 3 and 4 of the Motor Vehicle Act in connection with the incident.
Similar Incident in Pune Raises Concerns
This tragic incident in Mumbai comes on the heels of a similar road accident in Pune, where a 17-year-old minor caused a fatal crash that claimed the lives of two individuals. The juvenile driver was found to be under the influence of alcohol at the time of the accident, sparking outrage among the local community.
Legal Proceedings and Public Outcry
Following the Pune incident, the accused minor driver faced public backlash and was physically assaulted by angry locals before being handed over to the police. Despite initially being granted bail, the decision was later revoked due to widespread public outrage.
As part of the bail conditions, the accused boy was required to write a 300-word essay, undergo training with traffic police, and provide a surety amount of Rs 7,500. However, the community’s demand for justice has only intensified, leading to further investigations and arrests in connection with the tragic accident.
Investigation and Accountability
In a recent development, a local court has ordered the minor’s father and two employees of the bar that served alcohol to the underage driver and his friends to be placed under a three-day police remand. This move highlights the authorities’ commitment to holding all parties involved accountable for their actions and ensuring justice for the victims of these senseless accidents.
The series of road accidents in Pune and Mumbai serve as a grim reminder of the dangers of reckless driving and underage drinking. It is imperative for both authorities and the community to work together to prevent such tragic incidents and ensure the safety of all road users..
