Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: The police at City Chowk have filed a case against a man whose 14-year-old son collided a car into two motorcycles, resulting in injuries to two individuals. The event that took place on May 27 drew police’s notice after a video became viral.

As per sub-inspector Bhagwat Muthal from the City Chowk police station, after the accident, a 40-year-old man broke his leg, and a 56-year-old man sustained slight injuries.

The event took place close to the Vidya Alankar School, in the N-12 region, at approximately 4:56 PM on May 27.

On Wednesday evening, the City Chowk police lodged complaints under BNS sections 281 (careless or negligent driving), 125 (actions that recklessly or negligently threaten human life or the safety of others), and relevant sections of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988

“We called the boy’s father to the police station and provided a notice according to BNS regulations.” He works as a helper to a certified accountant. “We have not yet questioned the teenager,” Muthal continued.
