The mother of Sahil Dhaneshra, who was killed in a brutal SUV crash in Delhi’s Dwarka, said that her son’s “sacrifice” serve as a lesson for everyone as she appealed to parents, especially mothers, while mourning the death of the 23-year-old.
Dhaneshra died at the scene after a Scorpio struck his Yamaha R15 motorcycle at about 11:50 am on February 3 near the Lal Bahadur Shastri Institute of Management in Sector 11. The person driving during the crash was 17-year-old Akshatra Singh, who has been detained.

Dwarka crash: Grieving mother’s message and a warning to parents
Dhaneshra’s mother, Inna Maakan, said her son’s death should act as a warning for all parents. She urged mothers and fathers not to give vehicle keys to underage children who are not even eligible to apply for a driving licence.
“Let my son’s sacrifice be a lesson to everyone. Secure your children’s future. If people don’t learn their lesson now, more mothers will keep losing their children. When many mothers lose their children at once, maybe people will understand then,” she told NDTV.
Notably, Maakan raised her son, her only child, on her own. She told the media outlet she had done “a hell of a lot of work” after leaving her home with him. She said her only goal was to make sure his education was never affected.
“I had never even seen anyone’s ashes before. And when I did, it ended up being my child’s,” she grieved.
