Following that, the JJB ordered that the minor be kept under the care and supervision of his parents and grandfather, asking him to write a 300-word essay on road safety. As part of his bail conditions, the minor was required to submit an essay on road safety, highlighting the importance of responsible driving and the consequences of reckless behaviour. The minor was released from an observation home last month after the Bombay High Court ruled that his remand orders were illegal. After the Porsche incident, another high-profile hit-and-run case involving the daughter of a Rajya Sabha MP came to light from Chennai, who allegedly ran her BMW over a man sleeping on a pavement in the capital city of Tamil Nadu.
