Pune: Two doctors of Sassoon General Hospital in Pune were arrested on the charge of manipulation of the blood sample of a teen driver, who is an accused, in the Porsche car accident case, said Pune Police Commissioner Amitesh Kumar on Monday.
Amitesh Kumar said Dr Ajay Taware, head of the forensics department at Sassoon Hospital in Pune, and Dr Shrihari Harnor, chief medical officer at Sassoon, were arrested for alleged manipulation in blood reports and tampering with the evidence in the Porsche crash case.
The Pune Porsche accident case is currently being probed by the crime branch.
The doctors’ arrest came days after an inspector and another official attached to the Yerwada police station were suspended for delayed reporting of the offence and dereliction of duty. Among other things, they are accused of not taking the teenager for a medical examination halfway from the accident spot.
Two young IT professionals were killed after their motorcycle was hit by a speeding Porsche Taycan allegedly driven by the minor in the early hours of May 19.
The police claimed that the teenager was drunk at the time of the accident. The teenager was initially granted bail by the Juvenile Justice Board, which also asked him to write an essay on road accidents, but following outrage over the lenient treatment and a review application by the police, he was sent to an observation home till June 5.
