Aarav : “Teen Driver Tragedy: Boy Killed in Bengaluru”

A heart-wrenching incident took place in Murugeshpalya, Bengaluru on Sunday morning, resulting in the death of a five-year-old boy named Aarav and leaving another child injured. The tragic event occurred when the children were innocently playing in front of their home, unaware of the impending danger.

The perpetrator, an 18-year-old boy, was reportedly cleaning a car outside his residence with his father when the unimaginable happened. In a moment of sheer misfortune, he accidentally pressed the accelerator pedal while starting the vehicle, causing it to lurch forward with great force.

The car careened down the street, damaging several parked vehicles in its path before tragically colliding with the children who were playing in the neighbourhood. Neighbours rushed to their aid and swiftly transported them to the nearest hospital, but sadly, Aarav succumbed to his injuries before medical help could arrive.

The other child, named Dhanaraj, suffered injuries and a fracture as a result of the impact. He is currently undergoing medical treatment and is being closely monitored by healthcare professionals. Dhanaraj, the son of a bank security guard named Lokesh, hails from Raichur.

Authorities have detained the youth responsible for the accident, who is said to be the younger son of a local head constable. The Jeevan Bhima Nagar Traffic Police have initiated an investigation into the incident and have stated that further enquiries are ongoing. CCTV footage of the tragic event has also been obtained for review.

This devastating incident serves as a sobering reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of exercising caution and diligence in all our actions. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families affected by this tragedy during this difficult time.
