Pune Porsche accident

Earlier, in May 2024, a Porsche car accident in Pune had triggered a nationwide uproar after the car, allegedly driven by a minor in an inebriated condition, hit two IT professionals, killing them in Kalyani Nagar. There was an uproar after the Juvenile Justice Board (JJB) granted bail to the accused on very lenient terms, including writing a 300-word essay on road safety.

The uproar caused the Women and Child Development Department to form a panel to investigate the conduct of JJB members in giving bail to minors. As part of his bail conditions, the minor was required to submit an essay on road safety, highlighting the importance of responsible driving and the consequences of reckless behaviour.

The minor ploughed his swanky Porsche into the two IT professionals, who were travelling on a bike, killing them on the spot on the night of May 19.

The Pune police have filed a 900-page chargesheet against the seven accused, including the parents of the juvenile involved in the accident.
