Pune accident case

In May, a similar incident occurred in Kalyani Nagar, resulting in the deaths of two IT professionals after their motorcycle was struck by a speeding Porsche. The car was reportedly driven by a minor who was allegedly intoxicated at the time of the accident. On Wednesday, Police submitted the final report to the Juvenile Justice Board (JJB) detailing all evidence against a 17-year-old minor. 

Meanwhile, investigation has revealed that the juvenile's blood samples, which were swapped with those of his mother, were disposed of as bio-medical waste at Sassoon General Hospital, he said.

The minor boy's mother and father, along with two doctors – Dr Ajay Taware and Dr Shrihari Halnor – and a hospital employee, Atul Ghatkamble, are currently in jail for their alleged involvement in the blood sample swapping case.
