Mumbai Sessions Court Revokes Bail of Minor in Fatal Vidyavihar Crash CasePreviousNext

A Mumbai sessions court revoked the bail of a 17-year-old minor accused in a fatal February car crash that killed Dhrumil Patel and injured his wife, Minal. The court overturned the Juvenile Justice Board's earlier bail order, citing the gravity of the incident and public interest. The victim's wife had appealed, highlighting the minor's history of dangerous driving stunts and alleged evidence tampering. The court directed the juvenile's placement in a child reformative centre, emphasizing both his welfare and societal safety.
