The incident occurred on May 19 in Pune’s Kalyani Nagar area, where the 17-year-old son, allegedly inebriated, drove a Porsche and fatally struck two IT professionals on a motorbike. Three separate cases have been registered: one for the accident, another against the bar that allegedly served liquor to the minor, and a third against the boy’s father for allowing him to drive without a valid license. Additionally, there is a case regarding the wrongful confinement and coercion of the family driver to take the blame for the accident.
Latest Updates on the Pune Porsche Accident Case:
- After her arrest on Saturday afternoon, Shivani Agarwal reportedly told the police that doctors at Sassoon Hospital instructed her to provide her blood sample instead of her son’s. Pune Commissioner of Police (CP) Amitesh Kumar confirmed her statement, as reported by the Times of India.
- The 17-year-old accused was interrogated for an hour on Saturday. Sources told News18 that he evaded questions, while a report in the Hindustan Times quoted police saying the teenager claimed he could not remember anything due to his inebriated state at the time of the accident.
- A new charge has emerged against Dr. Ajay Taware of Sassoon Hospital, who is already implicated in the blood sample swap allegation. A retired customs commissioner has accused Dr. Taware of manipulating the gender test report of the former’s daughter-in-law during a marital dispute five years ago.
The unfolding case continues to reveal more layers of alleged misconduct and legal violations, with authorities intensifying their investigation into the actions of both the Agarwal family and the implicated medical personnel.
