The bail plea of the accused juvenile in the Mercedes hit-and-run case was rejected on Sunday whereas his father was released on a personal bail bond of Rs. one lakh.
The juvenile has been apprehended and handed over to the Juvenile justice officer. He will stay at a Juvenile home for a day after which he will again be produced before the Juvenile Justice Board tomorrow.
The incident took place on April 4 when the victim, Sidharth Sharma, was crossing the road near Ludlow Castle School in North Delhi's Civil Lines area when a Mercedes hit him.

The Class 12 student, who was allegedly driving the Mercedes, was arrested under laws for underage offenders but later released on bail.
The teen was on a night out with six friends.
