A case of rash and negligent driving was registered against the minor under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code and Motor Vehicle Act.

“We have detained the minor and sent him to a remand home. His father was arrested later in the day as it was his negligence that caused the accident. He should have ensured that his minor son was not riding his bike,” an investigator added.

The police said that the father is into shoe-making business.
