Subham Mitalia : “Man Arrested Perched on BMW Bonnet”

In the wake of the tragic Pune Porsche crash that resulted in the deaths of two IT professionals, another shocking incident has come to light in Mumbai. A man, identified as Subham Mitalia (21), has been arrested after a video of him lying on the bonnet of a moving BMW driven by a 17-year-old boy went viral on social media. The incident took place in Mumbai’s Kalyan area.

The viral video, recorded by locals in the Shivaji Chowk area, shows Mitalia being driven around on the bonnet of the BMW. The police have taken action against both Mitalia and the teenager, as well as the teenager’s father, who is a government official and the owner of the car.

Legal Ramifications

According to officials, a case has been registered against the teenager’s father for allowing his underage son to drive without a valid license. The police have also arrested Mitalia in connection with the incident.

This incident comes shortly after the Pune Porsche crash on May 21, where a 17-year-old youth, the son of a real estate developer, caused a fatal accident while allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol.

Outrage and Consequences

The Pune incident sparked outrage, especially after reports emerged that the accused’s family had attempted to influence the case. The accused was initially granted bail by the Juvenile Justice Board but was later sent to a juvenile home for 14 days following public outcry.

The accused’s family allegedly pressured their driver to take the blame for the accident, leading to further legal complications. The accused’s grandfather has denied these allegations, claiming he was not present at the scene of the accident.

Legal Actions and Investigation

A court has remanded the accused in police custody, and the police have booked the father and grandfather under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code for their alleged involvement in pressuring the driver.

The case has garnered significant attention and highlights the importance of responsible driving and legal accountability in cases of reckless behaviour on the road.
