Inna Makan, the mother of the deceased, has alleged that the SUV occupants were making reels when they hit her son’s bike.

She said, “My son was going to the office on the 3rd of February. He (Scorpio driver), along with his sister, was out on his Scorpio to make fun reels. The speed with which the Scorpio is being driven is clearly visible in the reel.”

The mother explained that the Scorpio driver was driving in the opposite lane and came right in front of the bus and performed a stunt. She added that her son looked to the right to see whether there was space, as there was an e-rickshaw on the left side of the bus. Meanwhile, the SUV collided with the motorcycle and hit the roadside parked car. She claimed, “The Scorpio driver did not apply the brakes after the collision.”

Calling it a criminal activity, Makan alleged that some people think that they can do anything on the road because their parents are wealthy; this is a criminal mentality. “This is not just an accident. My son died due to their fun reel,” said the mother. “There are already many speeding challans against him (Scorpio driver), yet his father did not stop him from driving. I want justice for my son. No one is safe on the road due to people like them. He (Scorpio driver) does not even have a license,” she said.

The mother further alleged that the SUV driver didn’t stop even after hitting her son; they hit the taxi, which then hit the bus. She said, “There was no control over their speed. After the destruction, the public caught them.”
