A young man in India pushed a BMW he received as a birthday gift\ninto a river as he wanted a Jaguar instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 22-year-old man, son of a prosperous local landowner, pushed\na brand-new BMW into a river in Yamuna Nagar because he didn’t like the car he\nreceived as a birthday gift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The incident happened when the Indian man named Akash realized he hadn\u2019t got the\u00a0Jaguar\u00a0he asked his father for. He was so upset upon being gifted a BMW 3 Series two months ago that he drove the car<\/a> to the edge of the bank, and then pushed the luxury vehicle into the Western Yamuna Canal. It took police divers over five hours to retrieve the BMW.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mukesh Kumar, a station house officer for the Chhachhrauli\npolice, told the local media that the young man was demanding a Jaguar from his\nparents, but when his father failed to buy him one, he threw away his brand\nnew BMW in a fit of anger. Kumar told the police Akash\u2019s family sold a Toyota\nInnova to him in order to buy the $50,000 BMW.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Akash’s father denies the sinking was intentional. He claims his son never requested a Jaguar for his birthday and only swerved to avoid an antelope in the road. According to the police, Akash has an undisclosed mental health issue that impairs his judgment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No criminal complaint has been filed and officials don’t plan to\nmake any arrests. Whether the BMW can be driven again is unknown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
