Pune police catch 25 minors driving in 2025

Pune traffic police have intensified efforts against underage driving, catching 25 minors in the first two months of 2025. This follows a high-profile accident in May 2024 that raised concerns about minors driving. In 2024, police fined 73 parents for allowing their children to drive, totaling Rs 3.50 lakh. The renewed crackdown includes filing cases against parents through an e-filing system, aiming to hold them accountable. Police will monitor internal roads near schools and colleges for minor drivers. Recent incidents have occurred in various neighborhoods, prompting stricter enforcement of existing laws against underage driving.
