Mrinal Deep Singh, a first year student of Jindal Global Law School at Sonepat, Haryana, was killed on September 29, 2011 due to a car accident. The 17 year old deceased was said to be returning from a pub in Nehru Place. He was speeding in a Honda Civic between Ashram and Lajpat Nagar flyovers when the vehicle hit the footpath; took off and went over the railings and fell 30 feet down on a godown that borders rail tracks connecting Hazrat Nizamuddin railway station, reports Indian Express.
Mrinal, according to his University Identity Card, was a minor but according to a press release issued by the Delhi police, he was 19 years old. No license was found in his possession. His father, Manjit Singh, is Vice President Engineer and Projects at Indraprastha Gas Limited.
The car has been found to be registered in the name of A. B. Saxena, father of the Mrinal’s friend Vikrant. The police have said that action would be taken against the car owner for violating the Motor Vehicle Act provision which prohibits a vehicle owner from allowing a minor to use it. A case has been registered under Sections 279 (rash driving) and 304 (A) (causing death by negligence) at the Lajpat Nagar police station.
