'Ashamed of my son's mistake', says father of minor accused in Dwarka accident

I am ashamed of my son's actions. This mistake was made unknowingly. He, too, is a father and understands the pain of losing his child. He apologizes to the victim's family for his son's mistake. He would never have driven like this before. This is what Narendra Singh, the father of the minor accused of crushing a 23-year-old motorcyclist in the Dwarka road accident, said.

He stated that he was not in Delhi on the day of the accident. He learned about the accident from his wife and the police. He then flew to Delhi. He added that his wife learned about the accident from the police around 12 noon on February 3rd.

The police informed him that his son had hit a motorcyclist with his car. Since the accident occurred near his home, his wife reached the scene on foot, from where the police took his son to the police station.

'The challan is not his son's, but the driver's.'

He clearly stated that he had driven away because he was not there. The existing challan on the vehicle was not issued by his son, but rather by his driver.

Regarding his son, he said that he is a smart child. After the accident, the police produced him in court, where he was remanded to six days' custody. He has been depressed since his release. He is afraid of me, but now he is not even talking to his mother.

What did he say about his son's age?

Regarding the accused's age, listed as 19 years old at the time of his arrest, he said that the police had a misunderstanding at the time. Later, after submitting his documents, the police's misunderstanding was cleared. He is only 17 years old.

Sister fought with those who tried to stop her from escaping after the accident.

At the time of the accident, the accused minor was with his sister in the Scorpio, and the two siblings were making a reel. When the accident occurred, they abandoned the vehicle and tried to run away. However, local people chased them, stopped them, and brought them back to the scene. But a viral video clearly shows that after the accident, the siblings expressed no remorse for the loss of life. Instead, they confronted and verbally abused those who tried to stop them. Later, when the police arrived, they were taken into custody, and the accused was taken to the police station.
