There were attempts to make it appear as if the adult driver was driving the car, but that bid was foiled, Kumar told reporters. «We have the CCTV footage of him (juvenile) drinking liquor in the pub.
The point of saying this is that our case is not alone depending on the blood report as we have other evidence also," the officer said. «He (juvenile) was fully in his senses, He had full knowledge that due to his conduct, such an accident, where section 304 is applicable, can happen,» Kumar said.
«During our investigation, it has clearly emerged that the juvenile was driving the car and we have already collected all the necessary chronological evidence. For example, when the juvenile left the house, the entry on the security register shows that he left with the car,» he said.
