The teen accused in the Pune Porsche accident case must be released from detention immediately, the Bombay High Court ruled today. The 17-year-old boy’s late-night dash in a Porsche on May 19 had left two 24-year-old engineers dead and sparked nationwide outrage.
The judgment by the bench of Justice Bharati Dangre and Justice Majusha Deshpande came on a habeus corpus petition by the boy’s aunt, who had sought his release from a government observation home. The teen will now be under the care of his aunt as his parents and grandfather have been arrested for an attempted cover-up.
