New details have emerged in the investigation of the fatal Porsche crash in Pune, India, as the police filed a ‘supplementary final report’. The teenage driver, initially accused of culpable homicide not amounting to murder, is now facing additional charges of evidence destruction and corruption.
Police claim the driver and several members of his family were intoxicated at the time of the accident. Eyewitnesses at the crash site reported seeing the driver in an extremely intoxicated state, unable to stand properly. However, an initial medical report showed a ‘negative’ reading for blood alcohol.
The police investigation revealed a disturbing pattern of alleged bribery and sample manipulation. The teenager is accused of colluding with his parents, doctors at Sassoon Hospital, and intermediaries to substitute blood samples. Authorities believe blood was taken from the driver’s mother to cover up the fact that he was drunk.
The police have invoked the Prevention of Corruption Act against the 17-year-old, alleging that he conspired to tamper with evidence. The case has sent shockwaves through the city, highlighting the serious nature of the crime and raising questions about accountability and the integrity of medical professionals.
The crash, which occurred in the early hours of May 19th, involved the Porsche hitting a motorbike, tragically killing two young IT professionals. The case continues to unfold as authorities investigate the extent of the alleged corruption and hold those responsible accountable for their actions.
