On the morning of April 26, 2026, six children, none appearing older than 12 years, were seen riding a single scooter on Padarayanapura Main Road in Bengaluru, India. Eyewitness Shreyas shared photos on social media, showing one child precariously handling the handlebars while five others squeezed behind him, all without helmets or adult supervision. This alarming scene quickly went viral, igniting outrage among residents who demanded immediate action against the parents. Former Bengaluru Police Commissioner Bhaskar Rao urged authorities to enforce the Motor Vehicles Act strictly, emphasizing the need for accountability. The incident has reignited discussions about road safety and parental negligence, particularly during school vacations when children are often left unsupervised. Experts warn that allowing underage children to ride scooters without proper safety measures transforms busy roads into dangerous environments. The public is now calling for stricter penalties, including vehicle seizures and awareness campaigns to ensure that parents recognize the dangers of such reckless behavior.
