"It was the negligence of the father that led to this tragic event. He should have ensured that his minor son was not riding the bike," stated an investigating officer.

This tragedy comes just days after a fatal accident in Pune involving a Porsche car that left two dead, highlighting the increasing need for stringent enforcement of road safety regulations.
