A 33-year-old man died due to his injuries on Sunday, ten days after a sport utility vehicle (SUV) allegedly driven by a minor hit his scooter in Mumbai, a police official said. Victim Dhrumul Patel’s wife Minal Patel, who was also riding with him at the time of the accident, is in a critical condition, the official said. The couple was seriously injured after a speeding Kia Seltos, allegedly driven at high speed by the minor, rammed into their scooter near Somaiya College in the Vidyavihar area on February 5. The SUV was allegedly owned by the boy’s father Valji Raja Bhushan. With Dhrumil’s death, the earlier FIR will be upgraded with relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, the official said. The case has been registered at Tilak Nagar police station against the minor and his father, who has been booked for allowing an underage person to drive the vehicle.
