Mumbai Court Grants Bail to Father of Minor in Fatal Ghatkopar SUV Crash

A Mumbai sessions court granted bail to Valaji Raja Bhushan, father of a 17-year-old minor accused in a February 5 SUV crash in Ghatkopar that killed businessman Dhrumil Patel and injured his wife. The court found no prima facie evidence that Bhushan knowingly allowed his son to drive, noting the keys were handed to a security guard before the minor took the vehicle. The victim's family opposed bail, citing the minor's reckless driving history and an alleged settlement offer.
