VASCO: Vasco PI Kapil Nayak has sent a strong message to the parents and vehicle owners that they will be booked for any crimes committed by their minor children.
“Sadly, we have had two fatal accidents within 20 days, and in both cases, two different innocent women lost their lives for no fault, and in both cases, the vehicles were driven by minors without a valid licence,” he said.
He added, “I want to make it absolutely clear that Vasco police will not take such cases lightly, and we will take the most stringent action as per law on such cases because we cannot say that these are accidents when the drivers very well know that they have no licence and are still driving in a rash and negligent manner and can cause the death of innocent people”.
He said the police have begun registering cases under sections 304 IPC of Culpable homicide, not amounting to murder in such instances.
“The parents and the owners of the vehicles must be careful and vigilant as they can become equally responsible for the crimes committed by minor children. Vasco police can also book them (Parents or owner of Vehicle) in similar sections for crimes committed by their children because the children are being given bikes despite having knowledge that they don’t have driving licences,” said Nayak.
