Mumbai: The Mulund Police have booked a 45-year-old woman after her 16-year-old son was caught driving a Mercedes-Benz recklessly at high speed in Mulund (West).
The incident took place around 2:30 a.m. on September 27, when police constable Rajendra Chougule spotted the luxury car speeding on MG Road near Panch Rasta junction. Despite attempts to stop the vehicle, the boy refused to halt until police and local citizens managed to intercept it.
