The Story in Brief
Nagpur police have booked the father of a 17-year-old boy after the teen drove his car into a truck, killing two friends. The crash occurred in the Kalamna area. The minor was at the wheel when the car rammed the truck, leaving both passengers dead. Officials filed charges under the Motor Vehicles Act against the father for allowing his underage son to drive.

A routine provision of the Motor Vehicles Act is being spun as unusual punishment, but the law is clear on guardian liability. The outrage, if any, should target parents who hand car keys to unlicensed minors, not the police enforcing the rules. The real test is whether this charge sticks and deters others – or becomes yet another file in a magistrate's cabinet.
