On Tuesday, 20th August, the Pune Police arrested two more persons for tampering with the blood samples in the Pune Porsche crash case. Pune police commissioner Amitesh Kumar confirmed the arrests and stated that the two were arrested on Monday, 19th August night, by the Pune crime branch.
As per the reports, the arrested individuals are reportedly responsible for exchanging the blood samples of two of the primary young accused’s companions who were in the vehicle when the accident happened. On Tuesday, 20th August the accused will appear in the court to be placed on remand.
It is believed that one of the persons arrested by the Pune police is the father of one of the two friends of the accused minor who were in the Porsche when the accident happened. Investigations are still being conducted further.

Meanwhile, it has come to the fore that the minor accused of killing two individuals in a car crash on May 19th this year has successfully completed a 15-day safe driving program, as ordered by the court.
“The juvenile accused completed the safe driving program with the RTO. With respect to the guidelines of the court, the operation was kept discreet as it could have led to the issue of privacy of the juvenile,” a top RTO official confirmed.
Topics including road safety precautions, the value of a driver’s license, and comprehending traffic signals and symbols were all covered in the safe driving program, along with hands-on, practical training.
Following the unfortunate event, the Pune crime branch unit filed a case earlier in July against the parents of the minor accused and two other doctors from Sassoon Hospital. They were charged with attempting to alter the blood sample and tamper with the evidence.
Two IT professionals on May 19th were killed when a Porsche, allegedly driven by a minor under the influence of alcohol, struck them in Pune’s Kalyaninagar area. The Juvenile Justice Board (JJB) issued an unusual bail to the accused, requiring him to write a 300-word essay on road safety, which sparked outrage across the country.
The Women and Child Development Department formed a commission in response to the outcry to look into JJB members’ actions after they awarded bail to the accused minor.
The minor’s bail requirements included submitting an essay on road safety that stressed the value of careful driving and the repercussions of irresponsible behavior. On May 19th, a teenage boy killed the two IT professionals on the spot after he crashed his fancy Porsche into them while they were riding their bikes. A 900-page chargesheet has been filed by the Pune police against the seven accused including the parents of the minor involved in the accident.
