New Delhi: The teenager who had allegedly run over a 32-year-old man with his father’s Mercedes in Civil Lines, will be taken to the accident spot and questioned by a juvenile welfare officer for the next two days, the police said.
He was sent to two days in “police custody” by the Juvenile Justice Board Monday, a senior police official said.
“Unlike normal police remand in which the accused persons can be interrogated for the whole day, the juvenile will be made available from 10 am to 6 pm. At other times, he will be at the juvenile home, though technically in police custody,” the official said.
He will be taken to the accident spot and asked a wide range of questions.
He could not be questioned on Monday because of the time constraint. The eight-hour slot would apply for tomorrow and the day after, following which his “police custody” would end, the official said.
The police are also preparing to challenge the bail granted to the juvenile’s father. While the son has been booked for culpable homicide not amounting to murder, the father was booked for abetment to the offence.
The teenager was again held by the police yesterday after he went to surrender at a city court, where his father and the man, who had once claimed to be the driver of the Mercedes at the time of the accident, were produced. While the teenager was sent to a juvenile home, his father (arrested on Friday) and the other man were granted bail.
