Vishal Agarwal Granted Bail in Pune Porsche Crash Case

On Friday, the Pune district court granted bail to Vishal Agarwal, the father of the teenager accused in the Pune Porsche car crash case. Agarwal was booked under Section 75 of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015.

Advocate’s Statement

Prashant Patil, Agarwal’s advocate, said, “My client Vishal Agarwal has been granted bail by the Honourable Sessions Court at Pune. It is his duty to abide by the conditions imposed by the Court and shall continue to cooperate with the investigation agency.”

Case Background

The father of the accused teenager is in police custody for allegedly manipulating blood samples, while the grandfather is in judicial custody for allegedly abducting the family driver to force him to take responsibility for the crime on behalf of his minor grandson.

Two IT professionals died on the night of May 19 after a Porsche car, allegedly driven by the minor accused, crashed into them. The teenager is currently detained at an observation home as ordered by the Juvenile Justice Board. He was initially granted bail but was later sent to the observation home for 14 days until June 5.

On June 15, the teenager’s paternal aunt moved the Bombay High Court, claiming that his detention was “illegal” and sought his immediate release.
