Mumbai teen swiped father’s scooter for joyride. It was his last

A tragic accident claimed the life of a 14-year-old boy and left his teenage companion injured early Sunday morning. The incident occurred when a speeding tempo crashed into their Honda Activa scooter from behind near the Jagruti Nagar Metro Station on the Ghatkopar-Andheri Link Road. The boys, Ganesh Mahamuni and Aryan Paswan, had taken the scooter without permission for an early morning ride.

Ganesh, a Class 9 student, and Aryan, a neighbor, were thrown onto the road after the collision, which severely damaged the back of the vehicle. The victim's father, Sunil Mahamuni, a daily wage laborer, discovered the scooter missing and his son was gone at around 5:40 am. Upon reaching the crash site, he found Aryan injured and rushed him to the hospital, where they informed Sunil that Ganesh had passed away due to his severe injuries.

The Ghatkopar Police have registered an FIR against the tempo driver under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the Motor Vehicles Act. Police are attempting to locate the accused.
