Pune Police Seek Adult Trial for Minor in Fatal Crash
A 17-year-old was involved in a car accident in Pune that killed two people.
The police want to treat the teen as an adult, but a special board said no.
The police disagree and are asking a higher court to change the decision, saying the board was wrong.
This is because the police believe the crime was very serious and involved underage drinking and an attempt to cover up the evidence.
Pune Police are challenging the JJB's decision to not try the 17-year-old as an adult.
The fatal crash occurred on May 19, 2024, in Pune.
Two young individuals died in the accident involving a Porsche.
The police argue the JJB's decision was flawed and have filed an application in the sessions court.
The juvenile was allegedly served alcohol and the parents were accused of tampering with evidence.
