A sessions court in Pune on Friday (June 21st) granted bail to the father of the juvenile accused in one of the cases pertaining to the Pune Porsche car crash in which two software professionals were killed in the city last month. He will, however, remain in jail since he is also accused in other cases related to the incident, including swapping of blood samples for alcohol tests and wrongful confinement of his driver to force him to take blame for the accident.

The Bombay High Court said Today (June 21st) that the teen accused in the Pune Porsche accident was also in trauma and he should be given some time. The Court said this while pointing to the approach of the Pune police in the way the minor was first granted bail and then suddenly, amidst mounting public pressure, was put in an observation home.
A minor involved in a fatal car accident in Pune is at the center of a legal battle as his aunt files a habeas corpus petition alleging unlawful detention. The Bombay High Court has deferred the decision on the release until next Thursday, intensifying the scrutiny of the minor’s confinement. This follows a tragic incident resulting in public outrage and significant legal complexities.
In Pune, Maharashtra, a teenager’s mother has been arrested for allegedly swapping her son’s blood samples with hers following a Porsche car accident. The police are investigating the involvement of hospital staff and the teen’s family in tampering with the samples to conceal alcohol levels. Several individuals have been arrested in connection with the case, and the Maharashtra Government has launched a probe into the actions of the Juvenile Justice Board.
After a fatal car accident involving a 17-year-old driving a Porsche, three individuals were sent to police custody for serving alcohol to the minor. The juvenile was granted bail by the Juvenile Justice Board, with conditions including writing a 300-word essay on road safety and refraining from further offenses. Concerns over age verification at establishments were raised. The severity of the case may warrant trying the juvenile as an adult.
