A Pune court on Saturday has sent the grandfather of the juvenile involved in the tragic Porsche crash into police custody till May 28.
The juvenile was allegedly driving the high-end car recklessly when he crashed into 2 people who were on the bike, killing them on the spot.
The grandfather’s role in allegedly coercing the driver, who was in the car with then teen, into taking responsibility for the crash is under scrutiny, and his custody will allow for further questioning and evidence collection.
The family driver gave a statement stating he wasn’t driving the car when it met with the accident and that the teen’s kin were using pressure tactics to push him to take responsibility for the crash.
The crash has sparked outrage and raised questions about underage driving and the responsibility of parents and guardians in ensuring road safety. A local court in Pune on Friday had remanded 6 accused arrested in the case, including the teenager’s father, in judicial custody.
The teenager is in an observation home till June 5.
