So, here’s the scoop on the latest drama in Pune – the son of a well-known builder, Vishal Agarwal, has been sent to an observation home by the Juvenile Justice Board for his involvement in a fatal accident that took the lives of two IT engineers. The 17-year-old was initially granted bail by a special holiday court due to his minor status, but the JJB decided to take a tougher stance and ordered him to be placed in the observation home.
His lawyer argued that he is just a minor, but the public prosecutor and police were adamant that he should be tried as an adult due to the severity of the offense. The JJB has stated that his status as an adult or minor will be determined after further police investigation.
Commissioner of Police, Amitesh Kumar, has expressed satisfaction with the JJB’s decision and stated that they will continue to investigate the case thoroughly to strengthen their argument for treating the CCL as an adult. The CCL was driving his father’s Porsche when he collided with a motorcycle in Kalyani Nagar, resulting in the tragic deaths of the two engineers.
The special holiday court had initially granted the minor bail and ordered him to write an essay on the accident as punishment, but the JJB has now changed his bail conditions and sent him to the observation home for a period of 14 days. Additionally, the CCL’s father has been arrested for allowing his son to drive the vehicle and has been placed in judicial custody until May 24 by the sessions court.
Looks like this case is far from over, with more hearings and investigations to come. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story in Pune.
