A Pune court on Monday granted permission to the police to take custody of Vishal Agarwal, the father of the 17-year-old involved in a car crash, from the Yerwada Central Jail regarding the case of kidnapping and wrongful confinement of his driver.
Agarwal, currently in judicial custody due to a case registered against him, along with managers and owners of two pubs under the Juvenile Justice Act, is lodged in the central jail.
The Pune police had filed an application for a production warrant of the father in the kidnapping and wrongful confinement case.
“The court has approved the application for the production warrant of the juvenile’s father, and he will be taken into custody from the jail,” stated a police officer from Pune police.
Two IT professionals lost their lives after their motorcycle was struck by a speeding Porsche, allegedly driven by the minor, in the early hours of May 19 in the Kalyani Nagar area of Pune city.
The police assert that the teenager was under the influence of alcohol at the time of the accident. Additionally, a case was registered against Vishal Agarwal and his father, Surendra Agarwal, for the ‘illegal confinement’ of their driver.
The police stated that both the father and grandfather exerted pressure on the family’s driver to accept responsibility for the accident by offering him money and issuing threats.
Both of them were booked under the Indian Penal Code (IPC) sections 365 (kidnapping) and 368 (wrongfully concealing or keeping in confinement).
