Businessman father booked for posting video of kids driving Ferrari on YouTube

The video of the boy driving the Ferrari F430 on Kerala roads with his younger brother in tow had gone viral online and had caused widespread outrage.
When NRI businessman Mohammed Nisham posted a video of his nine-year-old son driving a Ferrari F430 Scuderia (CH 04K 8545) on YouTube earlier in April, little did he know of the troubles that awaited him.

The Kerala police have registered a case against the businessman for allowing his son to drive the luxury sports car on his ninth birthday and posting it on the video sharing website.












The video of the boy driving the Ferrari F430 on Kerala roads with his younger brother in tow had gone viral online and had caused widespread outrage.

According to media reports, the Kerala police have now charged Nisham under the Juvenile Justice Act and Motor Vehicles Act.

The Peramangalam police initially sought an explanation on Friday and later charged him with "encouraging underage driving" and "allowing an unlicensed child to drive".

A media report quoted Peramangalam Circle Inspector Biju Kumar as saying, "We have collected statements from the boy and other family members. But, the police couldn’t take custody of Mohammed Nisham as he is an NRI. After completing routine formalities, we would refer the case to the court for further proceedings."

However, the family was far from apologetic for their irresponsible behaviour, which had drawn flak from international websites.

The 'proud' parents were all praise for the driving abilities of their son, who they claimed, had driven several other cars owned by the family, including a Lamborghini and Bentley.
