Earlier, in May 2024, a Porsche accident in Pune had sparked a nationwide uproar after a minor, allegedly driving under the influence of alcahol, hit two IT professionals in Kalyani Nagar, killing them on the spot.
The incident drew sharp criticism after the Juvenile Justice Board (JJB) granted bail on lenient terms, including requiring the minor to submit a 300-word essay on road safety.
Later, several reports emerged of his relatives including his mother, father and doctor of attempts of hiding and hampering the evidence.

The Pune police had filed a 900-page chargesheet against seven accused, including the juvenile’s parents.
