Mumbai Juvenile Justice Board Grants Bail to Teen in Fatal Car Accident Case

A Juvenile Justice Board in Mumbai granted bail to a teenage boy involved in a February 5 car accident near Somaiya College that resulted in the death of 33-year-old Dhurmil Patel. The minor and his father, who owned the vehicle, face charges including rash driving and culpable homicide not amounting to murder under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and Motor Vehicles Act. The victim's family plans to challenge the bail order in the Bombay High Court. The sessions court noted the father was likely unaware of his son's use of the car.
