API Kamble and a team of police officers raided the bar at around 11.40pm and found an underage boy being served alcohol. When questioned, the boy admitted to being 16 years old.

On May 19, two IT professionals were killed in Pune when their motorcycle was hit by a speeding Porsche allegedly driven by a minor at the Kalyani Nagar junction. Police claimed that the teenager was drunk at the time of the accident.

The juvenile court initially granted the teenager bail and asked him to write an essay on road accidents, but following public outrage over the lenient treatment and a request for police review, he was subsequently sent to an observation home until June 5.

Police have arrested the teenager’s father, a real estate agent, and his grandfather in connection with the accident.
