The parents of a 16-year-old boy in Uttar Pradesh's Agra locked him up for wanting to drive a motorbike fearing the hefty new traffic rules. Locked up for several hours, the boy called up police to complain against his father.

Agra resident Dharam Singh had bought the motorbike two years ago on his son's insistence. While Dharam Singh would go to office, his son would roam on the streets on this motorbike for hours.

However, when the news of new traffic rules reached Dharam Singh he took away the bike keys from his son Mukesh. Singh feared that if his son is caught riding the vehicle, he would have to cough up Rs 25,000.

A relentless Mukesh continued to pester his father for the keys. Fed up with the insistence, Dharam Singh locked up his son and went to office with the bike keys.

Dharam Singh said, "We had heard that they have increased the challan amount for minors driving vehicles. As he kept on insisting, I and my wife locked him up in a room."

The boy refused to calm down and called up the police to complain against his parents.

Both the father and the son were asked to appear before the police. The two narrated their sides of the story and police let off the duo with a warning.
