Vishal Agarwal, Father Of Vedant Agarwal, Arrested In Pune Porsche Accident Case
Vishal Agarwal, a Pune builder and father of the minor accused in the Porsche car crash case, has been arrested in Aurangabad.
Police previously stated that Agarwal was absconding after charges were filed against him. He faces charges under sections 3, 5, and 199 of the Motor Vehicles Act for allowing his minor son to drive the car, and under section 75 of the Juvenile Justice Act for allowing his son to attend a party with alcohol. Additionally, police have charged the Kalyan Nagar pub for serving alcohol to minors.
Meanwhile, the police have filed an application to try the juvenile as an adult in the case, adding charges of culpable homicide under section 304 of the IPC.
Meanwhile, while responding the alleged laxity in the probe, Pune Commissioner of Police Amitesh Kumar said: “We have adopted the most stringent possible approach and we shall do whatever is at our command to ensure that the two young lives which were lost get justice and the accused gets duly punished…”
In a tragic incident in Pune last week, two youngsters were killed in an accident involving a luxury PorscheTaycan driven by Vedant Agarwal, son of prominent builder Vishal Agarwal of Brahma Realty and Infrastructure. The accident occurred in Kalyaninagar around 2:30 AM on Saturday.
The victims, Anis Avlia and Ashwini Kosta, who were traveling on motorcycles with friends from Kalyaninagar to Yerawada when the speeding Porsche, driven recklessly by Vedant, collided with their bike and several other vehicles, died on the spot. The incident was reported by their friend, Ekib Ramzan Mulla, who filed a complaint at Yerawada Police Station.
Vedant Agarwal, 17, had just left a pub in the area when he lost control of the car, leading to the fatal crash. The impact was so severe that the victims were flung into the air and landed on another car. Locals quickly rushed to help, and the police were alerted immediately. Videos of the accident have since gone viral on social media.
