The police here have registered cases against the parents after a group of Class 12 students went to the school farewell function in a convoy of 35 high-end cars while performing stunts on the way, an official said on Thursday.

As many as 22 cars have been seized, he said. The action was taken after a video showing underage school boys driving cars such as BMW, Maserati, Mercedes and Porsche on a city road on February 7 went viral.

Some of them were seen holding smoke guns in their hands while sitting dangerously on car doors or sticking out their heads through the sunroof.

Six FIRs were registered at the Pal police station on Wednesday, said DCP RP Barot. “We identified 26 of the 35 cars and have detained 22 of them so far. Their owners were issued notices,” he said.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
