New developments have emerged in the tragic Porsche crash case in Pune, where a teenage boy is accused of driving under the influence and causing the deaths of two individuals. Eyewitnesses reported that the boy was so intoxicated he could barely stand. However, a preliminary medical report indicated a 'negative' reading for blood alcohol levels, raising serious questions about the integrity of the investigation.
According to Pune Police, several family members of the accused, including his father, mother, and brother, were also drunk at the time of the incident. In a shocking twist, the police claim that doctors at the state-run Sassoon Hospital were bribed to swap the accused's blood samples with those of his family members in an attempt to manipulate the alcohol level readings and "save the teen."
Initially, the plan was to use blood samples from the boy’s father or brother. However, since both were also inebriated, the family resorted to using the mother’s blood, who has since been arrested for her involvement. In a previous video message, she claimed that a viral video appearing to show her son was fake and appealed to the police for protection, breaking down in tears on camera.
The incident occurred on May 19, when the teenager lost control of the ₹ 2.5 crore electric supercar, resulting in the tragic deaths of 24-year-old software engineers Aneesh Awadhiya and Ashwini Koshta, who were on a two-wheeler. Just hours before the accident, the boy and his friends were seen on CCTV celebrating their recent school exam results at local pubs, where they reportedly racked up liquor bills of nearly ₹ 50,000. In response, the license of the bar that served them has been revoked, and the premises sealed.
As the investigation unfolded, it became apparent that local police had failed to follow proper protocols in handling the case. The police chief, Amitesh Kumar, confirmed that drastic actions were taken after the incident came to light. Two officers were suspended for not reporting the crash to their superiors and for delaying critical medical examinations, which should have been conducted immediately to ascertain blood alcohol levels.
Dr. Ajay Taware, then leading the Forensic Medicine Department at Sassoon Hospital, and Dr. Shrihari Halnor were arrested for their roles in swapping the blood samples. Additionally, Atul Ghatkamble, a hospital staffer, and two middlemen, Ashpak Makandar and Amar Gaikwad, have also been taken into custody. Prosecutors allege that Dr. Taware was promised ₹ 2.5 lakh for his involvement in this corruption.
The investigation revealed attempts to manipulate blood samples for two other minors involved in the incident. However, complications arose due to mismatched blood types and alcohol present in their mothers' blood. Consequently, the samples were replaced with those from two male individuals instead. The father of one of the minors has also been arrested for his role in this deception.
In a disturbing aspect of this case, trainee doctors were instructed to draw blood using dry cotton rather than cotton soaked in alcohol to prevent contamination. The police have expanded their charges against the teenager and his family to include destruction of evidence, corruption, forgery, and culpable homicide not amounting to murder.
The accused teen, who has garnered attention not only for the crash but also for the controversial terms of his bail—which included writing an essay on road safety—was released from a juvenile facility last month. The fallout from this incident continues to spark outrage, highlighting broader issues of accountability and the influence of wealth in legal matters.
