A group of students from secondary school No. 56 organized dangerous car rides during the celebration of Navruz. As reported by the city police department, “for their entertainment, the students rented several cars.”
“During the ride, the detainees leaned out of the car windows, performing reckless driving and creating emergency situations. As a result, 15 minors were taken to the police station along with their parents. Administrative protocols were drawn up against the parents under Article 90 of the Administrative Code of the Republic of Tajikistan. In addition, 5 drivers who knowingly violated traffic rules were held accountable — they were fined,” the statement said.
Several days earlier, the capital’s police reported a similar incident involving teenagers. In the previous case, according to the police department of Dushanbe, a group of students from gymnasium No. 4 rented expensive cars to celebrate Navruz. While moving through the streets of the capital, the minors grossly violated traffic rules and public order, leaned out of car windows, and created dangerous situations.
During the inspection, employees of the department for preventing offenses among minors and youth brought the cars along with the drivers and teenagers to the police station.
Administrative protocols were also drawn up against the parents of nine minors under Article 90 of the Administrative Code of the Republic of Tajikistan, and preventive talks were held with them, while 5 drivers were held accountable.
The capital’s police once again urged citizens, especially parents, to pay proper attention to the upbringing and supervision of minors.
