Maharashtra Congress chief Nana Patole has claimed that the MLA, whose son was allegedly involved in the accident, used his influence to cover up the matter. Patole has also demanded that Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis should step down from his post, accusing him of using his lawyer's degree to save the accused.
The Pune Porsche crash occurred on May 19, when a speeding Porsche driven by a 17-year-old, who was drunk at the time of the accident, collided into a motorbike. The accident claimed the lives of two young IT professionals, Ashwini Koshta and Aneesh Awadhiya.
Two doctors from Sassoon General Hospital in Pune have been arrested for allegedly tampering with evidence. The head of forensics department Dr Ajay Taware and Dr Shrihari Halnor, who took the blood sample from the juvenile accused, were arrested after it was found that the blood samples of the minor involved were switched with those of another person who hadn't consumed alcohol.
The Pune Police also claimed that the teen's original blood sample was found in a dustbin. The Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) report showed no alcohol in the first blood sample. This raised doubts and a second blood test was done at a different hospital. In the second test, it was confirmed that the samples were from two different individuals.
The Pune Porsche accident caused outrage after the Juvenile Justice Board (JJB) granted bail to the minor accused in around 15 hours. The JJB had told him to write an essay on road accidents. However, this decision was overturned later and the minor was sent to an observation home until June 5. His father and real estate developer Vishal Agarwal and grandfather have also been arrested in connection with the case. They have been accused of attempting to bribe and threaten the family's driver to take the blame for the accident.
The Pune Porsche crash has sparked outrage across the country, with many calling for justice for the victims and their families. The Maharashtra Congress has been vocal in its demands for a CBI probe into the case, citing political interference to save the rich accused.
The Maharashtra Congress is the state unit of the Indian National Congress, one of the major political parties in India. The party has been a vocal critic of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government in Maharashtra.
