The teenager's father, Vishal Agarwal, a real estate developer, and his grandfather have been charged under IPC sections 368 (illegally concealing information) and 365 (kidnapping with purpose to covertly and wrongfully imprison a person).
Meanwhile, three doctors from Sassoon Hospital, including the head of the Forensic Medicine department, have been arrested for manipulating blood samples to show that the teenager was not drunk at the time of the accident. The doctors allegedly threw away the original blood samples and replaced them with samples that showed no traces of alcohol.

The teenager was granted bail by the Juvenile Justice Board but was later placed in an observation home until June 5 after an investigation by the police.
