In a fresh twist in the Pune Porsche crash case, the 17-year-old boy, who was involved in the accident in which two people were killed, has claimed that his family driver was behind the wheel when the accident happened.
The minor, son of real estate developer Vishal Agarwal, was in the car that crashed with a motorbike, resulting in the death of two people.
The boy’s two friends, who were with him at the time, have supported his claim.
A day before, a Pune court revoked the minor’s bail and ordered him to be sent to a juvenile centre, India Today reported.
The family driver, who was allegedly driving the Porsche during the crash, was reportedly re-interrogated by the police on Thursday (23 May).
The driver in his first statement had claimed that he was driving the Porsche when the accident happened.
Vishal Agarwal, the father of the teen, has also claimed that it was the driver employed by him who was driving the vehicle on the night of the accident.
The police have recovered Vishal Agarwal's mobile phone and are investigating its contents to gather more information about the incident.
Additionally, the Pune crime branch is questioning Surendra Agarwal, the grandfather of the 17-year-old, to gain more insights into the case. The police aim to understand the interactions between Surendra, his son Vishal, and his grandson on the day of the accident to dig deeper into the case.
