The incident sparked nationwide outrage after JJB granted bail to the accused on very lenient terms, including writing a 300-word essay on road safety. The uproar caused the Women and Child Development Department to form a panel to investigate the conduct of JJB members in giving bail to minors.
As part of his bail conditions, the minor was required to submit an essay on road safety, highlighting the importance of responsible driving and the consequences of reckless behavior. Earlier this month, the 17-year-old minor accused submitted the 300-word essay on road safety as part of his bail conditions.
The minor was released from an observation home last month after the Bombay High Court ruled that his remand orders were illegal. Pune Police Commissioner Amitesh Kumar had assured on June 26 that legal action would be taken against all the accused involved in the Pune car accident.
Notably, the Pune district court granted bail to Vishal Agarwal, the father of the accused teenager, in the primary case where he was booked under Section 75 of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015.
The Maharashtra government will now consider the panel's recommendations and take necessary action against the JJB members. The case has highlighted the need for stricter laws and punishments for juvenile offenders.
