Minor involved in Porsche accident submits essay on road safety as part of bail conditions - World News Network

Pune (Maharashtra) [India], July 5 (ANI): The 17-year-old minor involved in the Porsche car accident that claimed the lives of two techies in May has submitted a 300-word essay on road safety as part of his bail conditions.
The essay was submitted to the Juvenile Justice Board (JJB) on Wednesday, an official confirmed on Friday.
As part of his bail conditions, the minor was required to submit an essay on road safety, highlighting the importance of responsible driving and the consequences of reckless behaviour.
The minor was released from an observation home last month after the Bombay High Court ruled that his remand orders were illegal. The incident took place on May 19 at 2.30 am in Pune’s Kalyani Nagar, where the minor, allegedly under the influence of alcohol, drove a Porsche car into a two-wheeler, resulting in the deaths of two software engineers.
Notably, Pune Police Commissioner Amitesh Kumar had assured on June 26 that legal action would be taken against all the accused involved in the Pune car accident.
“As far as the case is concerned, the investigation is being done as per the evidence which is received. We will ensure that legal action is taken against all,” Kumar had told ANI.
The Bombay High Court on June 25 directed to immediate release the minor allegedly involved in the Pune car accident from the observation home. The juvenile was under observation at the home of the Juvenile Justice Board for 36 days after the incident.
The court deemed the orders remanding him to an observation home as illegal and emphasized that the law regarding juveniles must be fully implemented and stated that justice must be prioritized above all else.
The division bench of Justices Bharati Dangre and Manjusha Deshpande of the Bombay High Court emphasized that justice must be realized regardless of consequences. The court made it clear that it was not swayed by the uproar surrounding the tragic accident that resulted in the loss of two innocent lives.
The High Court criticized the Juvenile Justice Board’s remand orders as “illegal” and passed without jurisdiction. The court also reprimanded the police for their handling of the situation, noting that law enforcement agencies had succumbed to public pressure.
Meanwhile, on June 21, the Pune district court granted bail to Vishal Agarwal, the father of the accused teenager in the primary case where he was booked under Section 75 of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015. But, his 77-year-old grandfather is still in judicial custody for allegedly forcing the driver to take responsibility for the crime on behalf of his grandson. (ANI)
