Dwarka SUV crash teen accused unable to cope with ‘board exam stress’: Lawyer

The recent Dwarka SUV crash involving a teenager has raised concerns about mental health and academic pressure among students. The minor, who was apprehended at the scene, has been reported to struggle with significant stress related to his upcoming Class 10 board examinations. On February 10, he was granted interim bail specifically to allow him to sit for these crucial exams. His lawyer emphasized that the pressures of academic performance have taken a toll on the young driver, contributing to his inability to manage the situation effectively. This incident not only highlights the dangers associated with reckless driving but also underscores the urgent need for addressing mental health issues faced by adolescents in India, particularly during examination periods. As students increasingly face heightened expectations, discussions surrounding their wellbeing and academic pressures are becoming more pertinent in public discourse.
