Pune Porsche Case: Court Grants Bail To Juvenile's Father, Grandfather In Kidnapping Case

The teen's father and the grandfather allegedly kidnapped their family driver after he left a police station on May 19 at 11 pm, hours after the crash and wrongfully confined him at their bungalow.

A Pune court on Tuesday granted bail to the father and the grandfather of the 17-year-old accused involved in the Porsche car crash, in a case pertaining to the kidnapping and wrongful confinement of their family driver after the fatal accident in May.

A Judicial Magistrate granted bail to the juvenile's father Vishal Agarwal, a prominent builder, and his grandfather, who were arrested in May.

The teen's father and the grandfather allegedly kidnapped their family driver after he left a police station on May 19 at 11 pm, hours after the crash, wrongfully confined him at their bungalow and tried to force him to admit that he was driving the car when the accident took place, the police said.

A Porsche car driven by the 17-year-old boy who was allegedly drunk and fatally knocked down two software engineers who were on a motorcycle in Pune's Kalyani Nagar area in the early hours of May 19.

Advocate Prashant Patil, a defence lawyer, informed that his clients were granted bail by the court in the alleged kidnapping and wrongful confinement case.

"My clients will cooperate with the investigative agency and shall abide by stringent (bail) conditions of the court," Patil said, according to PTI.

Last month, a court granted bail to Agarwal, arrested on May 21, in a case pertaining to the Juvenile Justice Act. The builder was booked under relevant sections of the Motor Vehicles Act (MVA) and the Juvenile Justice Act (JJA) for 'failing to do his duty as a guardian'.

The Bombay High Court last month ordered that the boy be released from an observation home, saying the Juvenile Justice Board’s (JJB) order on his detention was illegal.

However, the Pune police are planning to approach the Supreme Court against the Bombay High Court order for the release of the boy, a senior official said on Monday.
