Two-Year-Old Girl Killed by Underage Driver in Delhi During Eid

The 15-year-old driver’s father remains in custody as the tragedy brings renewed attention to underage driving enforcement in India.

Anaabiya, a two-year-old girl, was fatally struck by a Hyundai Venue car driven by a 15-year-old boy in Delhi's Paharganj area on Sunday evening.
The incident, captured on CCTV, shows the car briefly stopping before moving forward and crushing the child under its left front wheel.
The car was owned by a neighbor of Anaabiya's family, and the teen driver was the neighbor's son.
The teen's father, Pankaj Agarwal, has been taken into police custody, and legal proceedings are expected to follow.
The tragedy has reignited concerns over the lack of enforcement of underage driving laws in India, with parallels drawn to similar past incidents.
