Today, Delhi's Jantar Mantar once again witnessed a mother's helplessness and struggle. Nearly two months ago, an out-of-control Scorpio crushed a young biker, Sahil, in Dwarka. Sahil died on the spot, but the real pain began when legal complexities stood in the way of justice. Sahil's mother, a single mother, stood on the streets of Delhi today holding a banner.

Is being a minor a license to take someone's life? Sahil's mother's direct question to the system.

They allege that the accused boy was an adult, but his influential family tampered with documents to make him appear a minor. They are saddened that the man who took away their support in old age was granted bail citing "board exams."

This case has raised serious questions about the Juvenile Act, a part of Indian law that is often used as a shield. Protesters say that in today's "AI generation," children understand technology and speed very well. When they can drive expensive cars, drink alcohol, and risk the lives of others just like adults to make reels, why should they be considered "children" when it comes to punishment?
