Porsche accident in Pune: Juvenile court cancels bail of teenager involved in car accident and sends him to observation home | Latest News India

Porsche accident in Pune: A juvenile court in Pune on Wednesday canceled the bail of the 17-year-old boy involved in the car accident that killed two IT professionals on May 19.

The court also remanded him to an observation home until June 5.

Two motorcycle-riding IT professionals Aneesh Awadhiya and Ashwini Costa died on Sunday when they were hit by a speeding luxury car driven by a minor boy who was allegedly under the influence of alcohol.

The deceased, both 24 years old, were on their way back from an impromptu dinner with a group of friends when they were hit by the speeding Porsche.

The minor, the son of a well-known real estate developer, was granted bail hours after the incident on the condition that he would work at the Yerwada traffic police for 15 days and write a paper on road accidents.

The bail conditions drew widespread criticism, after which the Pune police said it would appeal against the order in a higher court. It then again approached the bench seeking a review of the order and permission to treat the teenager as an adult accused on the grounds that the crime was heinous in nature.

Police also arrested four people in connection with the case, including the teen’s father and the managers of the bar that served him alcohol.

Police have registered a First Information Report against the minor, son of a real estate developer, under IPC sections 304 (culpable homicide not amounting to murder), 304 A (causing death by negligence), 279 (rash driving), 337 (causing hurt by an act endangering life of any human being), 338 (causing grievous hurt by an act endangering life or personal safety) and relevant sections of the Motor Vehicles Act.
