Kanpur, May 23: Amid the public uproar over a teen running over two techies with his Porsche in Pune, a similar case has come to light from Uttar Pradesh’s Kanpur where a 15-year-old boy hit four people with his car on Tuesday. It is pertinent to mention that the teen's rash driving allegedly killed two deaths last October.
The 15-year-old was taken into custody and sent to a juvenile home on Wednesday, a day after the accident in Kanpur’s Barra.
According to police, the adolescent was driving a car on Tuesday when he hit four persons, all of whom were injured. While the wounded received first-aid treatment, the 15-year-old was charged with IPC sections 279 and 338 (reckless driving).
