A Pune court granted bail to Vishal Agarwal, the father of the teenager accused in the Pune Porsche accident, in the Juvenile Justice Act case.
Agarwal, a real estate developer, was booked under the Juvenile Justice Act for “exposing a child to danger” by handing over an unregistered car to him while knowing that he had no driving license.
The 17-year-old accused was allegedly driving the Porsche car at a very high speed while intoxicated on May 19 when it rammed into a bike, resulting in the deaths of two software engineers, Aneesh Awadhiya and Ashwini Koshta.
The teen’s father, Vishal Agrawal and his mother Shivani were arrested in connection with the case for their suspected involvement in swapping his blood samples.
This comes days after the Pune police submitted the final report to the Juvenile Justice Board (JJB) detailing all evidence against a 17-year-old boy allegedly involved in a car crash in Pune’s Kalyani Nagar last month.
The teen driver, involved in the Porsche car accident in the early hours of May 19, is currently lodged at an observation home in the city.
The police had filed a plea to allow them to treat the juvenile as an adult for trial in the case. To support their case, the police have now submitted relevant evidence to the JJB.
Meanwhile, investigation has revealed that the juvenile’s blood samples, which were swapped with those of his mother, were disposed of as bio-medical waste at Sassoon General Hospital.
The minor boy’s mother and father, along with two doctors — Dr Ajay Taware and Dr Shrihari Halnor — and a hospital employee, Atul Ghatkamble, are currently in jail for their alleged involvement in the blood sample swapping case.
