This event follows a recent tragedy in Pune, where a 17-year-old boy crashed his Porsche into two IT professionals on a bike, resulting in their deaths. The victims, identified as Ashwini Koshta and Aneesh Awadhia from Madhya Pradesh, lost their lives on May 19. In the aftermath of the Pune accident which enraged people across the country, a local court remanded six accused individuals, including the teenager’s father Vishal Agarwal, to judicial custody. The investigation was subsequently transferred from Yerawada police station to the crime branch.
The parents of the deceased IT professionals have requested the Supreme Court to oversee the probe and conduct the trial in their state. Police Commissioner Amitesh Kumar confirmed sufficient evidence implicating the juvenile driver. He mentioned CCTV footage showing the teenager drinking liquor in a pub prior to the accident.
