Udupi, Oct 14: Cases would be filed against parents if minors were found driving in the district, warned Udupi Superintendent of Police Sanjeev M. Patil.
He was responding to a caller during the weekly phone-in programme organised at the District Police Office here on Saturday. A total of 26 calls were received during the hour long phone-in programme.
Besides booking cases, even the vehicles driven by the minors will be seized, he said. If there are any accidents owing to the minors driving the vehicles, the parents will be made accused in such cases, he said.
He said the police had got information about ganja being brought from other districts, and they were keeping a hawk’s eye on it. We registered 93 cases for use of shrill horns, 90 cases against rash driving, 28 cases of drunk driving, and 1,119 cases for not wearing helmets last week, he said.
