Pune Porsche Crash Case: Charges Filed, Trial Delayed
A teen crashed a Porsche, and now there's a legal case about whether his blood tests were messed with to cover it up.
Police finished their investigation and charged 10 people, including the teen's parents and some hospital doctors.
But the actual trial can't start yet because of legal arguments and delays.
The lawyers are fighting over whether the police followed all the rules, like showing evidence.
The prosecution says the defense is stalling, while the defense argues they're just using all the legal options available to them.
The teen's mom is out on bail, but others are still in jail as the case moves forward.
