New Delhi Man Arrested For Letting 9 Year Old Drive Ferrari
NEW DELHI (AP) -- Police on Monday arrested a man who allowed his 9-year-old son to drive his Ferrari in the southern Indian state of Kerala.
Mohammed Nisham was arrested on charges of endangering the life of a child and allowing a minor to drive, said Inspector Biju Kumar.
He was later released after posting bail of 5,000 rupees ($92), Kumar said.
Nisham's wife filmed the boy driving the sports car on his ninth birthday two weeks ago with his 5-year-old brother in the passenger seat. The video was widely watched on YouTube and created an outrage across India, causing police to file charges.
India's economic boom has created a class of super-rich, whose excesses are frequently in the news.
