The siblings were reportedly on their way home after attending Eid-e-Milad prayers at a mosque when the incident occurred, according to a report by The Times of India. Police sources said Rehan was driving the scooter at a high speed and crashed into a car ahead. He was not wearing a helmet at the time of the accident, which caused him to suffer grievous head injuries, turning fatal.
Authorities revealed to the publication that the vehicle is registered in the name of the boys' grandmother, P Mumtaz. A case has been registered against her for allowing a minor to operate the scooter, which is in violation of traffic laws. The boys' parents live and work outside Karnataka. Their father, Manoj Ravat, is employed as a carpenter in Bihar, while their mother, Sultana, works as a housekeeping staffer in Dubai, the report said.
