The city of Pune has been in a state of shock and grief since the tragic car accident that took place in the early hours of Sunday. The accident, caused by an allegedly drunk 17-year-old boy, resulted in the death of two young professionals who were riding their motorbikes back home after a night out with friends. The boy was driving a Porsche, owned by his father who is a real estate developer, and had been drinking at a bar before getting behind the wheel. The police have detained the boy's father for his involvement in the incident and he will soon be arrested.
The Commissioner of Police, Amitesh Kumar, confirmed that the boy's father has been detained from Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar and will be brought to Pune for further legal proceedings. The police have registered a case against the father under the Juvenile Justice Act for willful neglect and endangering the life of a child. They have also taken action against the owners and staff of the bar for serving alcohol to a minor.
The investigation into this tragic incident has been transferred to the crime branch, as stated by an official. The FIR states that the father was fully aware that his son did not have a valid driving license but still allowed him to drive the car, even knowing that he consumes alcohol. The two riders who lost their lives in the accident were 24-year-old IT professionals, Anis Awadhiya and Ashwini Costa, who hailed from Madhya Pradesh.
The teenager was produced before the Juvenile Justice Board and was granted bail after a few hours. However, the Board has ordered him to visit the Regional Transport Office and study traffic rules, and submit a presentation within 15 days on the topic of road accidents and their solutions. The CCL (Child Care Leave) will also require him to write an essay of 300 words on the same topic.
The police have registered a case against the teenager under section 304 of the Indian Penal Code and the Motor Vehicles Act. However, they have also stated that they will be seeking permission from a higher court to try the teenager as an adult. This tragic incident serves as a reminder of the importance of responsible driving and the severe consequences of underage drinking. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of the victims during this difficult time.
