The Pune Police have submitted a final report to the Juvenile Justice Board (JJB) detailing all evidence against the 17-year-old boy allegedly involved in a car crash that killed two techies in Pune. The case led to massive public outrage followed by series of arrests from the teen to his father, mother and grandfather who tried best to cover up the incident.
The Pune police had filed a plea to allow them to treat the juvenile as an adult for trial in the case. To support their case, the police have now submitted relevant evidence to the JJB.
The police's report includes corroborative statements from eyewitnesses who saw him driving the car, CCTV footage recovered during the investigation, and evidence of him consuming alcohol at Cosie Restaurant and Blak Club. In summary, we have provided a comprehensive final report demonstrating that the juvenile, in an inebriated condition, was driving the car and caused the death of two riders.
Meanwhile, investigation has revealed that the juvenile's blood samples, which were swapped with those of his mother, were disposed of as bio-medical waste at Sassoon General Hospital. His mother Shivani Aggrawal was subsequently arrested from Mumbai.
The crime branch had arrested Dr Ajay Taware and Dr Shrihari Halnor and a hospital employee, Atul Ghatkamble for their alleged involvement in the blood sample swapping case. Two individuals, who acted as intermediaries between the doctors and the juvenile's father were also arrested.
