The minor’s aunt filed the habeas corpus petition for his immediate release. During the hearing, the High Court noted that while the victims' families are in shock, the juvenile who caused the accident while under the influence of alcohol is also in shock. This situation has naturally affected his mental state.
On May 19, the minor crashed a Porsche, killing two techies from Madhya Pradesh, allegedly while under the influence of alcohol. The police have requested that the 17-year-old be treated as an adult. The final report includes evidence highlighting the seriousness of his actions. The boy is currently held at an observation home in the city.
Pune police arrested the boy's parents and grandfather for various offenses, including attempts to erase evidence. They also arrested two doctors for replacing the boy’s blood samples with his mother’s and disposing of his original samples.
All the arrested are currently in judicial custody. Initially, the Juvenile Justice Board had released the minor, ordering him to work with the traffic police for 15 days and write a 300-word essay. This decision led to public outrage, demanding stricter action.
