Porsche crash in Pune: Teenager’s grandfather arrested for ‘wrongful confinement’ of family driver | Pune News

NEW DELHI: Pune police on Saturday morning arrested the grandfather of the 17-year-old minor who allegedly fatally hit two persons with his Porsche in Pune for “illegally confining” the family driver, an official said on Saturday. He, along with the child’s parents, was found to have threatened the family driver to take the blame for the accident.

The teenager’s father, Vishal Agarwal, has also been named in the case, the official said.

Acting on a complaint from the youth’s driver’s family, the Yerawada police have registered a separate offence against the teenager’s grandfather and father under sections 365 (abduction with intent to secretly and wrongfully confine a person) and 368 (wrongful concealment or confinement) of the IPC, he said.

“After the accident, the teenager’s grandfather and father allegedly took the driver’s phone and locked him in his house on the premises of their bungalow from May 19 to 20. The driver was freed by his wife,” the CID officer said.

A day earlier, Pune Police Commissioner Amitesh Kumar had said that attempts were being made to establish that the minor was not driving the luxury car.

A Porsche allegedly driven by the teenager, who police said was drunk at the time, killed two software developers riding motorcycles in the Kalyani Nagar area of ​​the city in the early hours of Sunday morning.

A local court in Pune on Friday remanded the six accused arrested in the case, including the teenager’s father, to judicial custody. The teenager has been remanded to an observation home till June 5.
