In a shocking incident, a 16-year-old boy caused panic in Mulund (West) by recklessly driving his mother’s luxury Mercedes car at high speed. Following the incident, the police have registered a case against the boy’s mother.
According to reports, on the night of September 26, Police Sub-Inspector Ashok Ramdas Shelar was on duty at Mulund Police Station. Around the same time, while Police Constable Rajendra Chaughule was patrolling the M.G. Road area, a black Mercedes Benz was spotted speeding past the Shiv Sena branch. The police attempted to stop the vehicle, but the driver sped away. The car was eventually stopped with the help of local residents.
