Mumbai Court Grants Bail to Father of Juvenile in Fatal Vidyavihar SUV Crash

A Mumbai sessions court granted bail to the father of a 17-year-old juvenile involved in a fatal February 5 accident in Vidyavihar, where businessman Dhrumil Patel died and his wife was critically injured. The father claimed he was unaware his son took the car, which he had given to a security guard. The victim's family opposed bail, alleging attempts to influence the investigation and an offer of Rs 40 lakh for settlement. The court noted evidence suggesting the father lacked prior knowledge of the incident.
