The politician said that his nephew stayed at the spot of the accident following the collision. He has made it clear that he wasn’t drunk as well.
The event has brought attention to reckless driving in Pune once more. Two 24-year-old software engineers perished last month after their bike was struck from behind by a speeding Porsche that was allegedly being driven by the well-known realtor’s 17-year-old son.
Within fifteen hours of the collision, the teenage driver who was charged with drunk driving was free on what were regarded as liberal bail conditions. The accused was sent to an observation home by the Juvenile Justice Board after it changed its order in response to widespread outcry.
Since then, police have discovered proof of the teen’s family members’ effort at a cover-up, and some of them have been taken into custody. The Juvenile Justice Act does not permit the confinement of a kid to an observation house, the Bombay High Court said, expressing worries about the mental health of the minor.
