According to local media reports, Alandi Police have registered a case against the boy after Najuka Ranjit Thorat from Vadgaon Ghenand lodged a complaint. The police stated that Thorat resides in Ganesh Nagar in Vadgaon Ghenand. The act was reportedly carried out in anger over an earlier quarrel with Thorat's son. The boy violently drove his car and ran over Thorat. However, she did not sustain any major injuries.
The video shows 4-5 citizens on the road where the accident occurred. It captures the boy driving his car back a hundred meters and then accelerating forward at high speed, attempting to run over other people present at the scene. Upon seeing the car approaching at high speed, people quickly moved aside.
Alandi Police mentioned that the Juvenile Justice Board (JJB) has sent the boy to a correctional home.
Meanwhile, citizens are demanding strict action against those who drive cars at such a young age.
