After a tragic Pune car accident claimed the lives of two individuals, including his daughter, Ashwini Koshta, the father of the deceased demands strict legal action against the accused to serve as a deterrent to others.
“Ashwini’s father insists that the law should take action against the accused according to the constitution and existing laws so that people learn a lesson from this,” stated a source close to the family.
Regarding parents who allow minors to drive, he emphasized, “That is wrong. Until our children come of age, we didn’t let them drive. We could have given them cars, but they should first learn how to drive.”
The car accident occurred in the early hours of Sunday after a luxury car collided with their motorcycle near Kalyani Nagar in Pune, resulting in the untimely demise of Ashwini Koshta and another victim, Anis Awadhiya.
Providing insight into Ashwini’s life, her brother mentioned, “She turned 24 in January and had completed her education at a college in Pune, then she got a job during the lockdown. She had been in Pune for 6 years. She excelled in her studies and was among the top students.”
“We were two siblings, and she was younger than me. She had spoken to Dad last, even on the day of the incident, telling him about going to a party for dinner. We received the news that night. Her friends called us from her phone; they knew the password, so they called using her phone, and that’s how we found out.
They told us that a speeding car hit them from behind. We were just told that there was an accident, so we immediately rushed out that night. According to the law, there should be a proper investigation, and that’s all we want,” he added, urging for action against the accused.
Meanwhile, Pune City Police arrested the bar owner and the bar manager who served liquor to the minor accused on the night of the accident. Earlier in the day, police detained the father of the minor accused in the Pune car accident case, said police officials.
