Mumbai – Man on BMW bonnet – Viral video – Teen driver – Porsche accident in Pune – News from India – News18

Days after the infamous Porsche crash in Pune, a man was arrested in Mumbai after a video showing him lying on the hood of a moving BMW went viral on social media. The car was allegedly driven by a 17-year-old boy.

According to a report by NDTV, the man seen lying on the hood of the BMW in the footage was identified as Subham Mitalia while the teenager was travelling in the vehicle in Mumbai’s Kalyan area near Shivaji Chowk on Saturday.

The video, which went viral on social media, was filmed by residents in the area and sparked further debate on the need for stricter traffic and road safety laws amid the ongoing controversy surrounding the Porsche Pune drunk driving case.

Following the incident, 21-year-old Subham Mitalia, who was lying on the bonnet of the luxury car, was arrested, while the juvenile driver and his father were charged under relevant sections.

Police officials also revealed that the car was registered to the minor’s father, who holds a government position.

“The officer was charged with allowing his underage son to drive without a valid driver’s license,” police said.

A team of Porsche representatives arrived at the Yerwada police station on Monday to conduct a technical examination of the luxury car involved in the accident in which two persons died, an official said.

The electric luxury sports sedan – a Porsche Taycan – was reportedly driven by a 17-year-old who, according to police, was drunk at the time of the accident that killed two IT professionals in the Kalyani Nagar area in the early hours of May 19.

Meanwhile, new video footage has emerged showing the 17-year-old defendant in the same Porsche he was allegedly driving on the night of the tragic incident. The video was taken just one day before the accident.
