Ludhiana neighbor charged in 5-year-old's death

Ludhiana police have charged a neighbor, Harpreet Singh, with causing the death of a five-year-old boy in a road accident. The boy's mother alleged that Singh took her son for a bike ride and crashed intentionally after a dispute. The incident occurred on December 18, 2024. Initially, the family did not pursue legal action, but the mother later sought charges against Singh, claiming he deliberately crashed the bike into an electricity pole. Police registered the case after an inquiry, citing negligence and rash driving. Investigations are ongoing, and initial findings suggest a financial settlement was attempted but later rejected by the child's family.
