Senior NCP leader Abdul Qadeer Maulana's 17-year-old son has been arrested a day after the SUV car he was driving hit two minor girls and their uncle, killing the younger girl on the spot, police said today. The incident happened in Aurangabad.


NCP leader Jitendra Awhad says nobody is above the law but it was unfair to hold the father responsible for the son's action.


The incident took place on Tuesday morning and the minor victim was identified as Navya Prakash Sonawane, police said. According to police, the minor boy was behind the wheel at the time of incident, while car driver Mohammed Amar Chaus, was seated beside him.


The deceased, Navya and her three-year-old sister Sayali were on their way to a temple along with their uncle, Shirish Sonawane (35) when they were hit by the car near the Hudco TV Centre chowk, senior inspector Pratap Baviskar of Cidco police station said.
