In Delhi, a 17-year-old rented an Audi for a birthday celebration and allegedly crashed the luxury vehicle into three other cars and a pedestrian, resulting in the pedestrian's death. Police have arrested the minor and seized the rented Audi. Authorities are investigating whether the rental company adhered to the necessary procedures before releasing the vehicle.
The deceased, identified as Umashankar, was produced before a Juvenile Justice Board via video conference as part of the ongoing probe. Police are seeking information on how the booking was made, the verification of the teenager's age, the checking of his driver's license, and the circumstances surrounding the vehicle's delivery.
If the investigation reveals any breaches of regulations or skipped mandatory checks, the company may face consequences. Police are also working to determine if the teenager was the only one driving the Audi throughout the rental period or if someone else drove it at any point. They are also identifying and verifying the ages of all individuals present in the vehicle during the accident.
