SC Seeks Maharashtra's Reply on Pune Porsche Crash Bail Plea
In May 2024, a Porsche car driven by a 17-year-old boy under the influence of alcohol hit and killed two IT professionals in Pune.
The Supreme Court is now looking at the bail pleas of some of the accused in this case.
One of the accused, Amar Santish Gaikwad, says he was wrongly accused of helping to tamper with the boy's blood sample to hide that he was drunk.
The court has asked the Maharashtra government to respond to these bail pleas.
Other accused, like Aditya Sood and Ashish Mittal, are also seeking bail.
The main accused, the 17-year-old boy, was initially given bail with some conditions, but later had to go to an observation home.
The case involves many people, including doctors and hospital staff, who are accused of helping to cover up the boy's drunk driving.
