Recently, a Pune court remanded the grandfather of a teenager involved in a Porsche car crash into police custody until May 28.
Currently, the grandfather is under the radar for coercing the driver to take the responsibility for the crash.
His custody will most likely help the police in questioning the accused and gather more evidence.
Earlier, the family driver of the teenager had made a statement, accusing the minor’s family of pressuring him to assume responsibility for the crash.
So far, in this case, the local court in Pune has remanded the six accused, previously arrested, to judicial custody. This group includes the father of the minor.
On May 19, the Porsche car driven by a 17-year-old minor collided with a motorcycle in pune’s Kalyani Nagar. Thus, resulting in the killing of two software engineers- Aneesh Awadhiya and Ashwini Koshta.
Later, the public outrage ensued, when the minor was initially given bail and was asked to write 300-word essay on this incident by JJB (Juvenile Justice Board).
Thus, raising the questions on JJB’s leniency and accessibility of justice in this country.
Owing to strong public reaction and intense coverage of this incident, JJB cancelled the bail of the teen, remanding him to Yerawada home until June 5.
