Minor Drives Scooter on Mumbai Sea Link; Police Book Uncle for Handing Over Vehicle

Mumbai Police have taken action after a 17-year-old boy was caught riding a scooter on the Bandra-Worli Sea Link, where two-wheelers are prohibited. The minor was allegedly riding without a valid driving licence, violating traffic regulations on the busy sea link.

Police registered a case against the boy's uncle for allegedly allowing the minor to use the scooter despite knowing that he was not legally eligible to drive. The owner could face up to three months of imprisonment or a fine under Sections 180 and 181 of the Motor Vehicles Act. The incident has once again highlighted the importance of following traffic rules and preventing minors from driving motor vehicles.
