Road rage incidents and road accidents have become commonplace in India. However, after the shocking incident involving a Porsche on May 19th in Pune, more reports have surfaced as people seek justice for victims. Following the fatal drunk driving case in Pune on May 19th, where a 17-year-old minor speeding in his Porsche killed two people on a motorbike in the Kalyani Nagar area, people driving on the road are taking extra precautionary measures. Especially after an allegedly drunk juvenile was granted bail by the Juvenile Justice Board (JJB) with the condition that he would write an essay on the accident, which took the lives of IT professionals on a bike at around 2:30 am in the Kalyaninagar area, the people are coming up with innovative ideas. Recently, a Punekari—a resident of Pune—invented a new, satirical protest style. He pasted a printed paper on the back of the glass shield that reads, “Keep safe distance. Even if you can write a’ 300-word essay’.” This has gone viral after it was posted on social media.
Some comments on the post include:
– Shahab Jafri: “Pune people are intelligent and creative and have always stood up against any kind of injustice. Pune rocks!”
– Another user commented, “Hard slap on the judiciary”
– A social media user wrote, “I want this lol.”
Meanwhile, as the issue gains momentum, the Pune police are now probing the role of Sunil Tingre, who allegedly used his clout to alter the investigation in the Porsche accident case. Additionally, Dr Ajay Taware, head of the state-run hospital’s forensic medicine department, Chief Medical Officer (CMO) Dr Shrihari Halnor, and staff member Atul Ghatkamble were arrested for allegedly throwing away the minor’s blood samples, taken after the accident on May 19th. In another update, the father of the 17-year-old Pune teen was sent to jail for 14 days by a city magistrate court till June 7th. The JJB on Thursday changed its order after outrage and sent the 17-year-old to a remand home till June 5th.
