New Delhi: The 17-year-old boy who allegedly knocked dead a man with his father's Mercedes in Civil Lines here has now been charged with culpable homicide considering his past record of negligent driving, police said today.

"On examination of CCTV footage, the possibility of knowledge to the accused juvenile offender that his extremely fast driving in a residential area can cause a death cannot be ruled out," DCP (North) Madhur Verma said.
