She alleged in a social media post that the SUV was being driven recklessly and claimed the driver was performing stunts for social media fame. Police, however, said the matter remains under investigation.
Minor Apprehended, Produced Before JJB

According to police, he was granted interim bail on February 10 on the grounds that he is a Class 10 student and was scheduled to appear for his examinations.
