Pune: In the Pune Porsche crash case, the police have arrested the mother of a teen accused of fatally running over two individuals while driving a luxury car. According to police, the mother attempted to swap her blood sample with her son’s to prove he was not intoxicated at the time of the accident.

Commissioner of Police Amitesh Kumar stated that the investigation revealed the minor’s blood samples had been substituted with those of his mother.

The tragic incident occurred on May 19 in Pune’s Kalyani Nagar, where two techies lost their lives after a Porsche, allegedly driven by the inebriated minor, collided with their two-wheeler.

The 17-year-old has since been placed in an observation home. Meanwhile, his father and grandfather have been arrested on charges of kidnapping the family driver and coercing him to take responsibility for the crash.

The investigation uncovered the influential family’s attempts to cover up the crime. Initially, they tried to persuade their driver to accept the blame in exchange for money. When he refused, they allegedly kidnapped him and continued to pressure him into confessing.

Additionally, discrepancies were found in the 17-year-old’s medical examination at the state-run Sassoon Hospital. In response, the Maharashtra Medical Education department appointed a three-member committee, led by Dr. Pallavi Sapale, dean of Mumbai-based Grants Medical College, to investigate the matter.
