Although Sonali did not name anyone, she hinted that the suspect was involved in Sunday’s accident by raising her son. The 17-year-old was driving his Porsche too fast when it collided with a motorcycle, killing two young technicians.

In another post, she explained: “However, I did not receive the response I wanted. I ended up having to take my son out of school because he was constantly being bullied by his classmates. All these incidents still bother him. If the necessary and immediate steps had been taken to correct the poor behavior of these boys at the appropriate time, this serious crime would not have occurred.”

In his third tweet, Tanpure said, “Educated people died and their families were uprooted in the accident that day. Justice must be done for the family.”

The police’s inexcusable delay after the accident sparked outrage among the public.

During his visit to the city commissioner’s office on Tuesday, Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis expressed concern over public anger and said the outrage increased after the juvenile justice department released the youth within 15 hours of his arrest on the grounds that he was socially incapacitated Among other things, I had to work for fifteen days and write an essay.

The deputy CM defended the city police saying they had tried to try the minor as an adult in an application before the court, but this was not taken into account by the department. Chief Minister Eknath Shinde also issued a strong warning and asked the police to take strictest action against the juvenile accused and others involved in the case.

Police have arrested bar owners and managers who served alcohol to the minor before he got behind the wheel and killed two techies in Kalyaninagar on Sunday. Following their arrest, the state excise department has sealed two bars, Cosie and Blak, whose owners and managers allowed the minor to consume alcohol in their establishments. Both the ruling BJP and Congress parties in Pune have met the Pune Police Commissioner and are demanding strict action against the culprits.
