Kanpur Police sent the minor son of a well-known doctor to a juvenile home after he allegedly crashed his father`s car into people, killing them in October 2023, amid the country`s outrage over the Porsche hit-and-run deaths and calls for justice for the two IT professionals who died in the incident. In another hit-and-run incident in which the kid, who is not yet old enough to legally drive, injured four persons in the Barra neighbourhood of Kanpur, the police also took action against him.
Per an ANI report, an investigation against several members of the local police for allegedly doing nothing about the situation was also started. The child was allegedly involved in the two hit-and-run incidents on the surface, but he was nonetheless given free reign to explore. Additional Commissioner of Police (Law and Order), Harish Chandra, briefed the media that a departmental investigation has been initiated over the purported hold-up in submitting the chargesheet against the accused adolescent and taking action against him.
