New Delhi: A 58-year-old widow from Gujarat's Nadiad reported her son to the police for overspeeding. Despite her repeated warnings, he continued to drive recklessly, which led to an accident.

The incident left both the mother and the son injured.

According to the Times Of India, Meena Patel, a resident of Degam Patel Faliyu in Nadiad, filed a complaint alleging rash driving against her son Anand at Vaso police station.

As per the report, Patel's complaint stated that her husband passed away eight months ago. She lives with and depends on her 34-year-old son Anand who works with a private firm. On Sunday morning, she wanted to go to Nadiad to meet somebody. So, she asked Anand to drop her off. Since his motorcycle had developed a fault, he borrowed his friend's motorcycle to drop her off. However, he did not check the vehicle's brakes properly and was overspeeding, ignoring her pleas to go slow. A while later, he braked suddenly, causing the vehicle to skid and fall. Both mother and son were injured in the accident.

Patel was taken to a nearby hospital by her son where she received treatment for a fractured shoulder. She then decided to file a complaint against his son for overspeeding.

Her complaint states, "My son was overspeeding and his negligence led to the accident in which I was injured. I am filing this complaint against him so that legal action is taken in the matter," according to TOI.

The Vaso police registered a complaint against Anand Patel under IPC Sections 279 (rash driving), 337 (causing hurt by act endangering life or personal safety of others), and 338 (causing grievous hurt by act endangering life or personal safety of others).
