Ajit Pawar Clarifies Allegations of Interfering in Pune Car Accident Case
Real Estate Pune:Ajit Pawar, the Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra, has been embroiled in a controversy surrounding the Pune car accident case that claimed the lives of two software engineers. The opposition had accused him of interfering in the matter, but Pawar has clarified that he only spoke to the police commissioner to ensure a fair investigation.

A three-member special panel has been appointed to probe the matter and submit its report. The panel is headed by Pallavi Saple, Head of Sir J. J. Hospital in Mumbai; Gajanan Chauhan of Grant Medical College in Mumbai; and Sudhir Choudhary of Government Medical College & Hospital in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar. Two doctors have also been arrested in connection with the case.

The name of NCP MLA Sunil Tingre has also surfaced in the case, with a letter dated 2023 coming to light in which he recommended giving the doctor the additional charge of Medical Superintendent.

Pawar clarified that he had spoken to the police commissioner on the phone regarding the matter, saying that he only wanted to ensure that the police did not come under pressure as the son of a rich man was involved. As a people's representative, we receive calls regarding such accidents. I told the police commissioner that the accused boy was from a wealthy family and there was a chance the police might be pressured. I told him not to succumb to any political pressure, Pawar said.

Meanwhile, the father and grandfather of the minor accused, who mowed down two techies in Pune, have been remanded to police custody till May 31. The 17-year-old boy, the son of a prominent Pune-based real estate developer, fatally knocked down two motorbike-riding software engineers in Kalyani Nagar, Pune, in the early hours of May 19. The crash has ignited widespread national outrage, particularly due to the swift granting of bail to the teenager within just 15 hours.

The Pune car accident case has sparked widespread outrage across the country, with many calling for stronger action against the accused. The case has also raised questions about the influence of wealth and power in the justice system.

Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) is a political party in India, founded by Sharad Pawar in 1999. The party is currently a part of the ruling coalition in Maharashtra, along with the Shiv Sena and the Congress.
