Underage driving, which means he doesn't have a license, any accident carried out by someone without a license is directly an attempt to murder.

People talked about how the parents who defend their children in such a situation should also be held responsible.
It's fault of parents who raise such spoilt kids and than defend their crimes. Parents should be put in jail n son in mental asylum. But our corrupt systems will not catch him and even if caught he will be baizat bari soon.

May justice be provided to the victim’s family. This is highly appalling, but also quite common. Perhaps it’s time we start holding people accountable, rather than letting these incidents become the norm.
