Bopal Hit-and-Run Claims Security Guard's Life

Milap Shah, a 45-year-old father, has been arrested for permitting his 17-year-old son to drive his Mercedes, leading to a fatal hit-and-run incident in Bopal that killed security guard Govind Singh. The tragic event occurred on the night of September 14, when the minor, after attending a friend's birthday party, struck Singh while driving at high speed. Shah has been charged with culpable homicide not amounting to murder under the Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita, as investigations revealed he provided his son with the vehicle keys. Following the incident, the minor was detained and presented before the Juvenile Justice Board, while legal action against the father is underway for violating motor vehicle laws. The local community is calling for stricter enforcement of laws regarding underage driving amidst growing concerns about parental responsibility in such cases. Singh, a 34-year-old security guard, was pronounced dead after being struck while crossing the street to buy tobacco.
