The 17-year-old driver involved in the fatal Porsche accident in Pune has been granted bail, while the police continue their investigation to establish a case of culpable homicide. The accused, who was under the influence of alcohol at the time of the accident, has claimed to be an addict. The police are working to prove that he was fully aware of the potential consequences of his actions. The Juvenile Justice Board granted him bail on certain conditions, including working with traffic police and undergoing treatment for alcohol addiction.
The incident has raised concerns about underage drinking and the need for stricter enforcement of rules at pubs and restaurants.
