- The Juvenile Justice Board is currently hearing arguments on whether or not the 17-year-old can be tried as an adult in the case. The Pune Police made the request claiming that the boy was fully aware that drink driving could have serious repercussions.
- The boy was been in the meanwhile sent to a remand home till June 5, after initially being granted bail by the court on the condition that he write an essay on ‘drink driving’.
- Police revealed that the boy, and two of his friends who were in the luxury car, had visited a pub in Pune where they spent nearly Rs 48,000.
- The speeding Porsche crashed into a bike, killing two software engineers in the early hours of Sunday.
- The 24-year-old engineers – Aneesh Awadhiya and Ashwini Koshta – belonged to Madhya Pradesh’s Indore and had come to Pune with the hopes of building a career.
- Following an outcry over quick bail and the police’s review plea, the JJB on Wednesday remanded the teen to the observation home till June 5.
- The police have also arrested the teenager’s father in connection with the case.
- A rap song has gone viral on social media claiming that it is the 17-year-old accused soon after the accident. But police and the boy’s mother have stated that the video, a song where the singer is boasting about how he got away with the accident, is fake.
- “The video which is being circulated is not of my son. That is a fake video. My son is in the detention centre,” says the teen’s mother in her message.
- The police are also investigating potential lapses in protocol in the hours following the incident, including possible preferential treatment for the son of a prominent city builder. The allegations include underplaying the horrific nature of the incident in the first write-ups and delaying a medical examination, which should have been done immediately to establish the boy’s blood alcohol level.
