Mercedes Hit-And-Run Case: Delhi Police Seeks To Cancel Boy's Bail

The incident took place on April 4 when marketing executive was trying to cross a road near Ludlow Castle School and the speeding Mercedes hit him.

New Delhi: The Delhi Police on Thursday pleaded with a court to cancel the bail given by a juvenile justice board to a teenager who had allegedly run over a 32-year-old man with his father's Mercedes leading to his death, saying the relief was granted wrongly.

Additional Sessions Judge Arvind Kumar, after hearing the arguments, reserved the order on the police's plea for May 18.

Prosecutor Atul Shrivastava argued that the juvenile justice board had granted bail to the boy, who has just turned major, without any fresh bail application, which was "wrong".

"The board had first denied bail to the boy on April 19. Thereafter, he was granted bail on April 26 by the board without filing of fresh application which was wrong.

"We were not even shown the psychological report of the boy due to which we could not argue on that aspect," he said.

The boy's counsel, however, submitted that he was rightly granted bail and the court should also see that it was for the welfare of the youth.

The incident took place on April 4 when marketing executive Siddharth Sharma was trying to cross a road near Ludlow Castle School and the speeding Mercedes hit him.

A case was lodged against him.
