Pune: The Pune police on Thursday questioned the grandfather of the 17-year-old boy who allegedly crashed his Porsche Taycan car into a motorcycle on Sunday, killing two techies from Madhya Pradesh. The police also carried out a forensic examination of the car to collect evidence.
The high-end car, which is in the possession of the Yerawada police station, was also examined. The police collected technical evidence, including data from the GPS and footage of the cameras around the vehicle.
“A team today conducted the examination of the car, which is in the possession of the Yerawada police station. We have already carried out the forensic examination of the spot and now the car has also been examined. The technical aspects such as GPS, the cameras around the car were examined,” a police officer informed.
The grandfather was questioned because he is one of the owners of the realty firm that owned the Porsche car. The friend of the teenager was questioned to verify and corroborate the sequence of events.
According to the police, the teen wanted to drive the powerful car. The driver called his father to inform him about the teen’s demand. The father told the driver to let his son drive the vehicle.
Earlier on Thursday the case witnessed a dramatic turn of events in the high-profile Pune crash case, the 17-year-old boy, accused of driving the Porsche that collided with a motorbike and killed two people, has now reportedly claimed that his family driver was behind the wheel during the accident. The minor’s two friends, who were with him at the time, have supported his claims.
The accused teenager’s friend and family driver who were accompanying him in the car during Sunday’s fatal accident were questioned by the police on Thursday. The driver in his first statement had claimed that he was behind the wheel when the fatal accident took place. The minor’s father has also claimed that it was the family driver who was driving the Porsche on the fateful night.
The teenager was remanded to the observation home by the Juvenile Justice Board (JJB) on Wednesday following an outcry over quick bail and the police’s review plea. A senior police official said during his stay at the observation home, the juvenile will undergo psychological assessments. The police have registered an FIR against the minor under IPC sections 304 (culpable homicide not amounting to murder), 304 A (causing death by negligence), 279 (rash driving) and relevant sections of the Motor Vehicles Act.
