The Delhi High Court on Monday dismissed a petition from Inna Makkan, the mother of 23-year-old biker Sahil Dhaneshra, seeking to transfer the investigation into her son's death to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). Dhaneshra died on February 3 in a collision with a Mahindra Scorpio driven by a 17-year-old who lacked a driver's license. The court, led by Justice Saurabh Banerjee, determined that there was no substantial evidence to justify the transfer, stating that the petition was general and failed to specify any police officer's negligence. The court emphasized that transferring an investigation requires concrete evidence of misconduct, which was not presented in this case. Following the court's remarks, Inna chose to withdraw her petition. The minor driver has been charged under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) for rash and negligent driving, while his father faces charges under the Motor Vehicles Act for allowing an unauthorized person to drive. The case highlights issues of accountability and parental supervision in incidents involving minors.
