The 17-year-old boy who allegedly killed two techies after he crashed his Porsche into their bike in an upscale area in Pune is finding it tough to get admission in college due to the criminal case against him.

The teen, who recently passed Class12, had applied for a BBA course at a prestigious college in Delhi, his lawyer said. His advocate urged the Juvenile Justice Board members to ensure his studies are not affected due to the ongoing probe. Special Public Prosecutor Shishir Hiray said that education was everyone's right guaranteed by the Constitution and the accused must get admission to the college of his preference. The boy recently completed a court-mandated 15-day safe driving course.

Police alleged that the teen was driving the Porsche under the influence of alcohol when he collided with a two-wheeler, resulting in the deaths of the two software engineers  — Aneesh Awadhiya and Ashwini Koshta from Madhya Pradesh. The accident snowballed into a major controversy after the Juvenile Justice Board asked him to write a 300-word essay on road safety as a bail condition. His father, a prominent builder, and his grandfather were arrested in May for allegedly kidnapping and wrongfully confining their family driver and forcing him to take responsibility for the crash.

Now, a video of Pune City Police Commissioner Amitesh Kumar's speech at a private event is going viral. In the video, Kumar said the accused boy's blood samples were swapped with that of her mother to save him. Kumar further said the blood sample was not swapped with that of his father and brother as both of them were drunk that night. He added that the teen boy's mother had also consumed alcohol, but 24 hours had passed when her samples were taken.

Pune Police have filed a plea requesting that the 17-year-old be tried as an adult. They have submitted a supplementary report to the Juvenile Justice Board, adding new charges of destruction of evidence, forgery, and violations under the Prevention of Corruption Act. Earlier in June, the police had charged the teen with culpable homicide not amounting to murder.
