Pune Police Seek Juvenile Remand Extension in Deadly Porsche Crash Case

The Pune police have filed for an extension of the remand for a 17-year-old juvenile involved in a fatal car crash. The incident, which claimed the lives of two IT professionals, has led to multiple arrests, including the juvenile's family members and several hospital staff for alleged evidence tampering.

The Pune police have moved an application before the Juvenile Justice Board (JJB) for a 14-day extension of the remand of a 17-year-old boy implicated in a car crash that killed two people, an official said Wednesday.

The juvenile's current remand at an observation home concludes on Wednesday, prompting the request. A hearing on the matter is scheduled later that day.

The tragic incident unfolded in the early hours of May 19 in Kalyani Nagar, Pune. A Porsche, allegedly driven by the juvenile under the influence of alcohol, collided with a two-wheeler, killing two IT professionals.

Initially granted bail and assigned to write a 300-word essay on road safety, the juvenile faced heavy criticism, leading to a revised court order that placed him in an observation home until June 5.

Furthermore, the police arrested his parents, two doctors, and a hospital staff member for allegedly swapping the juvenile's blood samples with his mother's. Two recent arrests include intermediaries suspected of facilitating financial transactions between the doctors and the juvenile's father. The juvenile's grandfather also faces charges related to the incident.
