Delhi: The father of the minor accused in the Dwarka road accident that allegedly killed 23-year-old Sahil Dhaneshra said the family is “deeply grief-stricken” and assured full cooperation with the investigation.

Speaking to ANI, he said, “I will follow whatever the legal process entails. Whatever information I received, I received it from the police. My son and daughter were in the car. I run a commercial vehicle business. The vehicle is used in our business, and the challan on the vehicle is because of our drivers who drive it. This is not because of my son. This is a heartbreaking incident.”

He further added, “He is very disturbed. There is deep grief in the entire family, for that family as well as for ourselves. We cooperated with the police. The police asked me for documents, and we provided all the documents. No, I was unaware that my daughter was making a reel; it wasn’t a reel but a short video.”

According to Delhi Police, 23-year-old Sahil Dhaneshra was killed in a road accident in Dwarka on February 3 after a car allegedly driven by a juvenile without a licence collided with his motorcycle. The incident occurred near Lal Bahadur Shastri College in Dwarka South.
