Pune Police Charges Seven in Fatal Porsche Crash

Pune Police have filed a 900-page chargesheet against seven individuals, including the parents of a minor boy, in connection with a fatal car crash involving a Porsche, driven allegedly by the minor under the influence of alcohol. The incident, which occurred on May 19 in Pune, resulted in the deaths of two IT professionals. The chargesheet, submitted to a sessions court, details allegations of criminal conspiracy and evidence tampering, including swapping the minor's blood sample with his mother's by two doctors and hospital staff. The Juvenile Justice Board had initially granted bail to the minor, sparking outrage and leading to a revised order for his detention, which was later overturned by the Bombay High Court. Pune Police plan to challenge this decision in the Supreme Court. The case has prompted a broader investigation into the actions of the Juvenile Justice Board and has highlighted issues of road safety and judicial handling of juvenile offenders.
