A day after Ashu Bairwa's video went viral on social media in which he was seen driving an open jeep while being escorted by the police, Rajasthan Deputy Chief Minister Prem Chand Bairwa said on Friday that he doesn't blame his son who is still studying in school.
He is not even 18 years old yet. He was with his friends and the police vehicle was for security, not escorting," said the Deputy Chief Minister.
Video of Bairwa's son breaks viral as he is seen breaking traffic rules and misusing the police escort.
Among his friends were Kartikeya Bhardwaj, son of Congress leader Pushpendra Bhardwaj. Seen in the video was Ashu Bairwa, a young man driving the jeep with its hood down to enjoy the rain with his friends.
"I want to thank the PM for making me the Deputy Chief Minister. At least my son got a chance to see a good car just because a rich man gave him to drive the big car, I am thankful that people have started asking about my son too. A police car was escorting behind for police security. I do not blame my child," the Deputy Chief Minister responded when questioned by the media persons.
He said no traffic rules were violated by his son. "The police were following the car for safety of my child, not escorting him. I don't blame my child because they were with school friends. No such thing in it," he added.
