Breaking News: Mothers Demand Justice as Minors’ Reckless Driving Claims Lives in Delhi & Mumba

Back-to-back high-speed crashes involving minors have left families shattered in Delhi and Mumbai, reigniting debate over juvenile driving laws and parental accountability. In Delhi’s Dwarka, 23-year-old Sahil Dinesh Ra was killed on February 3 when a speeding Scorpio, allegedly driven by a minor filming a social media stunt, rammed into his bike. Sahil’s mother, Ina Makhan, has publicly demanded strict punishment, questioning how an unlicensed teen with prior traffic violations was allowed behind the wheel. The juvenile has been granted interim bail due to board examinations. Days later in Mumbai, 17-year-old Dhruvil Patel succumbed to injuries after a speeding car hit the scooter he was riding with his wife, Meenal, who remains hospitalized. Both tragedies have sparked nationwide outrage, raising urgent concerns about reckless driving, social media stunt culture, and whether parents who hand vehicles to minors should face criminal liability. Grieving families are now demanding stronger laws to ensure such losses are neither ignored nor repeated.
