The student, Mohammad Talha, had long wanted a BMW M4 Competition, and his father, Shamsuddin Midya, had promised to fulfil the wish if he scored well in his exams. Once the results were announced, Midya travelled to Mumbai and bought the car from a showroom in Andheri.
The BMW M4 Competition was transported from Mumbai to Paraj village in West Bengal inside a specially enclosed container. The car reached the village on Friday, November 6, drawing a crowd of curious locals.
Gift Sparks Debate On Social Media
The extravagant gift has triggered mixed reactions online. While some social media users have praised the father for rewarding his son's academic performance and fulfilling his long-standing dream, others have questioned whether gifting a luxury sports car worth crores to a 15-year-old is appropriate.
Interestingly, despite receiving his dream car, Talha cannot drive it himself just yet. At 15, he is below the legal driving age and does not have a driving licence.
According to reports, his father will be behind the wheel for now, while Talha enjoys the car as a passenger. The teenager reportedly plans to focus on his studies and take rides in the BMW with his father.
Nevertheless, the unusual reward has certainly made Talha's Class 9 examination results memorable.
