The businessman whose minor son was driving the Mercedes in the Civil Lines Hit-And-Run case has been arrested for allegedly abetting the fatal accident in which 32-year-old Siddharth Sharma was killed.
The boy himself has been booked for culpable homicide not amounting to murder, a more serious offence than causing death by negligence provision slapped initially against him.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (North) Madhur Verma said the investigations revealed that the boy had previously indulged in rash and negligent driving and was involved in another accident in February as well. Back then, his car, being driven at a high speed like in the latest case, had brushed past another causing the driver to lose balance.
