A day after Sultan Merchant lost his son Zoheb in a bike mishap, he told mid-day he was about to buy a high-end car for him, just to get him to stop riding his superbike which allegedly had 'technical glitches'. Sultan claimed that the M V Agusta F3 800 had multiple problems, which engineers failed to mend.

'He was crazy about it'
He said, "I always desisted Zoheb from riding the superbike, but he was crazy about it. He would try to get his mother and sometimes me to ride it as well. We all knew that there were technical glitches in his bike, and they couldn't be rectified by technicians. Four days ago, we were talking about gifting him a Range Rover, so we could convince him not to ride the superbike."
