In a significant turn of events, the Pune Crime Branch has made startling revelations in the ongoing investigation of a fatal accident involving a 17-year-old boy who drove his Porsche into two pedestrians last month. The police informed a local court that they suspect a conspiracy involving multiple individuals, including the boy’s parents, aimed at tampering with crucial evidence. This case has not only shocked the local community but has also raised serious questions about the lengths to which some individuals might go to subvert justice.
According to the Crime Branch, the parents of the accused played an active role in manipulating the blood sample of their son to create the impression that he was not under the influence of alcohol at the time of the accident. The police have already arrested two doctors, a hospital employee, and the boy’s mother for their involvement in this scheme. It was revealed that the boy’s blood sample was swapped with that of his mother’s, thereby misleading the authorities regarding his sobriety during the incident.
The police’s assertions are backed by solid evidence. “Both parents had gone to the hospital and were involved in manipulating the blood sample of the minor accused. The blood sample was taken to ascertain the alcohol content in the blood of the minor,” the police stated, as reported by ANI. They further claimed to have CCTV footage showing the boy and his friends consuming alcohol at two different bars before the tragic event.
This damning footage not only implicates the boy but also reinforces the police’s allegations against his parents. The police presented this evidence in court, emphasizing the deliberate effort to destroy and tamper with evidence. They noted that CCTV footage from Sassoon Hospital corroborates their claims, showing the exchange of blood samples. Consequently, both the boy’s father and mother have been charged under IPC sections 120B (criminal conspiracy) and 201 (causing disappearance of evidence).
Moreover, the police suspect that more individuals might be involved in this conspiracy. “We need to confront all the accused together, and we have noticed that the CCTV from the bungalow has been formatted. We want to investigate the same,” the police indicated, hinting at a more extensive network of complicity.
The investigation has also led to the recovery of ₹3 lakh, which the police believe is connected to the bribery and manipulation efforts at Sassoon Hospital. They informed the court that custodial interrogation of the accused is necessary to trace the origins of this money and uncover who ordered and executed these illicit activities.
This case highlights the critical issue of integrity within legal and medical institutions. The lengths to which the accused and their associates went to manipulate evidence demonstrate a flagrant disregard for the rule of law. As the investigation unfolds, it is expected to shed more light on the mechanisms of such conspiracies and ensure that those responsible are held accountable.
The court’s decision on the police’s request for further custodial interrogation will be pivotal in determining the direction of this investigation. Meanwhile, the community watches closely, hoping for justice for the victims of this tragic accident and a firm stance against such attempts to undermine the legal process.
