Pune Teen Driver’s Father Arrested After Fatal Porsche Crash
The accident occurred early Sunday morning in Kalyani Nagar area.
Pune: The father of a 17-year-old boy involved in a fatal car accident that resulted in two deaths has been arrested by Pune Police in Aurangabad, Maharashtra. The incident took place in the early hours of Sunday in Pune’s Kalyani Nagar area. According to police reports, a luxury Porsche driven by the teenager collided with a motorcycle, instantly killing Anis Awadhiya and Ashwini Costa. CCTV footage revealed the car was traveling at an estimated speed of 200 kmph in a narrow lane.
The case has now been transferred to the Pune Police crime branch.
Pune Commissioner of Police Amitesh Kumar reported that the minor had been celebrating his class 12 results at a local pub, where he was seen consuming alcohol before the crash. The legal drinking age in Maharashtra is 25, making it illegal for the establishment to serve him. Consequently, the bar owners are facing charges for serving alcohol to a minor.
The aftermath of the incident has sparked intense public outcry, particularly following the Juvenile Justice Board’s decision to grant the minor bail just 15 hours after his detention. The board imposed rehabilitative conditions, including mandatory counseling, a de-addiction program, and a 300-word essay on road safety. This lenient response has been widely criticized given the severity of the accident.
In response to the bail decision, Pune Police have filed an application with the sessions court to try the juvenile as an adult, arguing that the gravity of the crime warrants harsher judicial scrutiny. “We have taken yesterday’s incident seriously. We have taken action under Section 304 of the IPC, which is a non-bailable section as it was a heinous crime,” said Commissioner Kumar.
While awaiting a decision from the sessions court, Pune Police have also arrested the boy’s father, a prominent local builder, under Sections 75 and 77 of the Juvenile Justice Act. These sections pertain to willful neglect of a child and providing intoxicating substances to a minor, respectively. Additionally, legal action has been initiated against the pub where the minor was seen drinking. The proprietors face serious charges for their role in providing alcohol to the minor, contributing to the tragic events that followed.
