Delhi teen hits an old man with his BMW

A teenager, in the habit of driving his BMW dangerously and regularly on the wrong side, hit an old man amid one of his 'thrill' drives 10 days ago. A video that has now gone viral shows him hitting the senior citizen.

No action has been made against the kid up until now. Mail Today has accessed the video - shot by his co-passenger friend with a plan to show off amongst his friends.

The 11-second film shows the kid speeding on the wrong side in Model Town and hitting an old man in blue shirt. Stun and dread is visible on the man's face as he is hit. The video at that point stops suddenly. The casualty reportedly received critical injuries.

The kid, who is a minor holds an invalid permit, and has been driving for past few years. At the time of the accident the speed of his BMW car bearing Haryana registration number was around 80 km per hour.

The issue was reported to police by a man known to the kid who had gotten the video. But they didn't make any action saying that the number plate of the vehicle was not visible. The complainant showed the video to the cops and told to them that he would help them to distinguish the accused, however they didn't pay any regard to it. When contacted, senior cops declined to remark on the incident.

Be that as it may, a previous police official, who didn't wish to be named, said Delhi Police could have taken the issue suo-motu and in based of the video along with other details of the accused could have taken action against him.

"The kid's father owns a car emporium in Karol Bagh," said human rights activist Kundan Srivasatva, who was also shown in the video.

He uncovered insights about the kid and stated, "This is not the first time he has gotten away with rash driving and accident. Recently, he damaged a Hyundai Verna car but was given clean chit by police."

Pilot whale die after swallowing 80 plastic bags

In southern Thailand a small male pilot whale has died after swallowing more than 80 plastic bags.

The whale was discovered barely alive and vomited up five bags while rescuers struggled to spare to save it over four days, marine officials said.

After death examination uncovered 80 plastic bags, weighing up to 1st 3lb, in the creature's stomach.

The bags had made it impossible for the whale to eat any nutritional food, said Thon Thamrongnawasawat, a marine biologist.

"If you have 80 plastic bags in your stomach, you die," he said.

Each year at least 300 marine animals like pilot whales, sea turtles and dolphins die in Thai waters after ingesting plastic, he added.

"It's a huge problem. We use a lot of plastic."

Thailand is one of the world's top-five plastic polluters according to last year Ocean Conservancy alongside China, Indonesia, the Philippines and Vietnam.

Together these nations are responsible for more than half of the plastic that washes into the ocean every year – thought to be between eight and 13 million tonnes.

The pilot whale was found on Monday in a canal close to the border with Malaysia, Thailand's Department of Marine and Coastal Resources said on Facebook.

Rescuers had to use buoys to keep the mammal above water, while a sunshade was set up to protect it from the blasting sun. It died yesterday.
