A Class 9 student from West Bengal reportedly got a BMW after getting good marks. The gift was a BMW M4 Competition. His father is said to have chosen the car as a reward for his half-yearly exam performance. The gift attracted attention on social networks and sparked a debate about its price.

The student is Mohammed Talha, a 15-year-old from the village of Paraj. The village is located in the Galsi area of Purba Bardhaman district in West Bengal. Talha is currently studying in 9th grade. His father, Shamsuddin Midya, is a businessman, according to The Economic Times.

Talha wanted to own a BMW M4 Competition for some time. Midya reportedly decided to fulfill this wish after Talha did well in the mid-term exams. He chose the opportunity to surprise his son with a luxury car.

Some social media users praised Midya for recognizing his son’s efforts. They saw the gift as a fatherly way of celebrating their son’s academic achievements.

“We are happy for you as a community, congratulations,” wrote one Instagram user.

“Congratulations bro. But by the way, what do you do for a living? Please answer me,” another user commented.

One user wrote: “Age doesn’t matter bro money power.”

“The real monster has arrived. Congrats bro,” wrote another.

“Great. Every parent must learn from this noble and loving gesture. Everyone should know that their investment in their children in terms of love, finances, upbringing, education, etc. will surely make their children reach the level they deserve one day, whether the parents are alive or not. This is God’s decree,” wrote one user.

Others expressed surprise that a teenager was given such an expensive car. The discussion centered on the choice of reward. Users asked if such an expensive gift was suitable for a 15-year-old student.
