The CCTV footage shows that the boy took a break from the game and sat in front of a parked car to tie his shoelace. In the meantime, Chandrakar, also a resident of the same complex, entered the Santro. Without realising there is a child sitting in front of the vehicle, she started the car. The footage shows her running over the boy and driving away. However, as soon as the car passes over him, the boy is seen instantly springing back to his feet and walking away.

“The boy sustained minor injuries… but the family did not want to submit a complaint initially. However, when the video went viral, the family was convinced to give a statement,” said Rego. Based on the statement, Chandrakar was arrested. “Since it was a bailable offence, she was released on bail immediately,” Rego added.
