Ferrari car has been arrested.
Mohammed Nisham was charged endangering the life of a child
and allowing a minor to drive .He was later released on bail.
Nisham’s wife,Amal filmed the boy driving the sports car on
his ninth birthday two weeks ago with his five year old brother in the
passenger seat. The video was widely watched on YouTube and created an outrage across India, causing
police to file charges.
India’s economic boom has created a class of super-rich,
whose excesses are frequently in the news.Nisham,who has a tobacco and property business, owns 18 cars
worth around 2.5 million British Pound Sterling(BP).
Police have impounded the Ferrari, but it will be returned
in few days after paperwork for the case has been completed. The boy’s parents
were unabashed. ‘’I am proud of him. He’s been driving since he was five’’said
his mother. She said the boy has also driven the family’s Lamborghini and Bentley
and other cars.
‘’It was his ninth birthday, and since he was insisting for months,
we allowed him to drive the Ferrari. He is a cautious and confident driver’ she
said. ‘’It’s not easy for a child to achieve such a feat at this young
age’’,Mrs. Amil Nisham prided.
