    Remember it could have been your family - knocked down by a unresponsible set of parents and a reckless 15 year old.

    without doubt he is the son of a political big wig who suffer from superiority complex.

    Raj Sunday, 17 January 2016 02:49 PM

    If the kid cannot be jailed, send him to a rehabilitation centre for 5 years! Arrest the parents and car owner!

    Premalal Sunday, 17 January 2016 01:57 PM

    First the police have to check whether the boy is a son of a V.V.I.P.

    The parents are responsible. Let the police take the legal action.

    Fassey Sunday, 17 January 2016 11:45 AM

    Parents should be arrested for letting a minor drive a vehicle specially in the night. This is utter irresponsibility of the parents. Severe punishment should be given. Two lives lost in vain. Who can replace this loss for concerned family. Very tragic

    Shan Sunday, 17 January 2016 11:29 AM

    Parents should be jailed.

    mohan Sunday, 17 January 2016 11:06 AM

    Charge the car owner for negligent (unless stolen) , and put the driver in Correction school

    Channa Sunday, 17 January 2016 11:01 AM

    Bad age. Bad act. Bad end.

    Sapu Sunday, 17 January 2016 10:14 AM

    Can a minor be arrested for reckless driving? The parents will have to pay big fines to teach them a lesson

    Nishantha Sunday, 17 January 2016 10:04 AM

    Traffic cops are only there to see cars who cuts lines... but not reckless drivers of buses and luxury vehicles

    ranjith silva Sunday, 17 January 2016 09:44 AM

    Let the minor drivers parents be responsible for this crime.
