Hit and run: Boy's parents couldn't care less- Board

The 12th class student, who was held in hit and run case, for killing a man in Delhi, with his father’s Mercedes, was rejected the bail. The juvenile court further said that, he is a repeat offender on whom fines have failed to have any "reformative effect" and his parents "couldn't care less".

Reportedly, the Juvenile Justice Board’s order says, the kid’s parents “seem to have scant regard for the law and they have instilled the same approach in the mind of their son.”

The boy even has the history of traffic violations earlier, before the accident on April 4th.

“For long, parents of the juvenile have promoted his habit of driving cars. It doesn't matter if they knew their son was getting challaned (fined) repeatedly,” the order says, commenting that, the parents let their son drive, before he turned 18, and without a license.



The juvenile court said the car had immense horsepower and "had higher potential of causing accidents if used by a novice."

The court further added that, the boy was a potential menace to the pedestrians, other drivers and also to himself and the people in his car.

The order takes note of an accident just weeks before in February, which was settled out of court, and observes that the boy “also put forged signature on settlement paper to avoid further detection.”

After completing his 12th class exams, the boy was out celebrating with his friends, when he allegedly rammed marketing consultant Sidharth Sharma,  driving at a speed of over 80 km per hour.

The 32-year-old was then flung in the air with the impact. The teen allegedly abandoned the car and ran away with his friends.
