Juvenile Justice Board issues notice to 17-year-old involved in fatal car crash in Pune, following police petition for review.
The Juvenile Justice Board has issued a notice to a 17-year-old boy, who allegedly crashed his car into a motorbike killing two persons in Pune, to appear before it on May 22.
This comes after the Pune police approached the Board with a petition to review its bail order.
The Board is expected to hear the revision petition at around 12 noon at its office in Yerawada area in Pune.
The Porsche car, allegedly driven by the 17-year-old, who the police claim was drunk at the time, fatally knocked down two motorbike-borne software engineers at Kalyani Nagar in Maharashtra’s Pune city in the early hours of May 19.
The teenager, son of a real estate developer, was subsequently produced before the Juvenile Justice Board which granted him bail hours later.
“After we approached the board with the revision petition, it has issued a notice to the juvenile to appear before it,” Additional Commissioner of Police Manoj Patil said.
The Pune police had approached a sessions court challenging the bail order and seeking permission to allow them to treat the body as an adult saying the crime committed was “heinous”.
