According to eyewitnesses, including an auto-rickshaw driver who was at the scene, there were three boys in the car when it rammed into a bike, killing the two riders. The boys were allegedly drunk and did not have a driving license, as the teenager is still a minor. After the accident, they got out of the car and asked people not to create an issue, promising to pay damages immediately.
One of the boys fled the scene but returned later, and all three were taken away in two separate police vans. The auto-rickshaw driver, Ameen, revealed that there was no driver present in the car, contradicting claims made by the Agarwal family.
The Porsche Taycan's temporary registration certificate has been cancelled by the Pune Regional Transport Office (RTO), and a report has been sent to the Bengaluru Central RTO, where the original temporary registration was done. They will now initiate the de-registration process.
The accident has raised questions about the lack of accountability among privileged individuals, particularly in cases involving reckless driving. The incident has sparked outrage and debate about the need for stricter laws and enforcement to prevent such accidents.
Vishal Agarwal is a renowned real estate developer in Pune. The Agarwal family has been involved in several high-profile cases in the past, including allegations of bribery and corruption.
