Pune Minor Gets Bail in High-Profile Car Crash Case
Pune, Maharashtra: In a significant development, the Bombay High Court has granted bail to the minor accused in the Pune Porsche car crash case. Prashant Patil, the lawyer representing the minor, informed reporters today, “We successfully challenged the three remands ordered by the Juvenile Justice Board before the High Court. The court has directed for his immediate release, and custody will be granted to his paternal aunt.”
The case garnered national attention in May 2024 when a minor allegedly driving under the influence caused a crash that resulted in the deaths of two IT professionals. The Juvenile Justice Board’s decision to grant bail with conditions like writing an essay on road safety sparked public outrage.
Patil’s statement suggests the High Court may have taken a stricter view on the remands. More details on the court’s reasoning and any bail conditions are awaited.
