Mumbai Court Cancels Bail of Minor in Fatal Vidyavihar Hit-and-Run CasePreviousNext

A Mumbai sessions court has cancelled the bail granted to a 17-year-old minor accused in a fatal hit-and-run case from February near Vidyavihar. The minor, who was driving the SUV that collided with a scooter, was initially granted bail by the Juvenile Justice Board. The victim's wife challenged this decision, citing concerns over justice and alleged evidence destruction. The court directed the Juvenile Justice Board to secure the minor and order his placement in a child reformative centre.
