“My son was going to the office,” Makan said. “He, along with his sister, went out in the Scorpio to make the fun reel. The speed at which the Scorpio is being driven is clearly visible in the reel. He was driving in the opposite lane and did a stunt right in front of the bus.”
‘His parents wanted to send him abroad’Dhaneshara’s friends remember him as a hardworking boy whose parents wanted to send him abroad. I have never seen such a hardworking person in my life. I can’t imagine any other friend working as hard as him,” Dhaneshara’s friend Manav Sachdeva said while recalling his friend as inspiring and motivating.

“His family probably wanted to send him to Manchester or Germany. He asked me if I could come too. But I refused because my whole family is here and my business is set up here,” he said.
Sachdev says they are demanding justice for Dhaneshara and the accused should be punished for what he did. “He should spend some time in jail. He should remember what will happen to him if two people take their lives. His father should remember when he sent his son to drive without a license,” said Sachdeva.
‘My son died because of their funny reel’Dhaneshara’s mother demanded justice for her son in a public plea accusing the minor’s parents of negligence as he did not even have a license. “It’s not just an accident. My son died because of their funny reel. He already has many speeding charges against him, yet his father didn’t stop him from driving. I want justice for my son. No one is safe on the road because of people like them. Strict action should be taken against them. He doesn’t even have a license,” Makon said, calling the accident a criminal activity.

“The speed at which the Scorpio was being driven is clearly visible on the relay. He was driving in the opposite lane and stunted right in front of the bus. My son looked to the right to see if there was space. Because there was an e-rickshaw on the left side of the bus. The Scorpio rammed the cycle and hit the car on the side of the road. Even a cab driver did not apply brakes after the accident, which is a criminal act.”
Makan told NDTV that he received a call from the Dwarka Sector-11 Station House Officer (Police) who informed him that the police had found a motorcycle registered under his number.
When he rushed to the spot in panic, he found his son lying on the road, his motorcycle split into three parts. He also said that an ambulance standing nearby took his son to the hospital after he screamed for 10 minutes.
“There was an ambulance but he was not taken to the hospital. After I shouted, Sahil was lifted by his legs and hands, without any neck support, and taken to the hospital,” he said.
