An 11-year-old boy was caught driving a passenger coach in Karachi’s Defence neighbourhood, prompting swift action by traffic police.
Authorities issued an e-challan of Rs 50,000 against the coach’s owner for allowing a minor to operate a heavy vehicle — an act described as “serious negligence.”
The incident sparked public outrage after photos and video of the child at the wheel went viral. Police have launched an investigation into how the under-age driving was permitted and whether additional accountability measures are required.
