Pune Porsche crash: Accused minor completes 15-day safe driving programme as per court order, says RTO official | Latest India News

The minor accused of killing two IT experts by crashing his Porsche into a motorcycle while drunk in Pune on May 19 has completed a 15-day driver safety program as ordered by the court.

Two of them, Aneesh Awadhiya and Ashwini Koshta, both from Madhya Pradesh, were thrown into the air and landed on parked vehicles. One of them died on the spot, while the other died during treatment.

As part of the bail conditions set by the Juvenile Justice Authority, he had to write a 300-word essay on traffic accidents and seek advice from the Regional Traffic Office on traffic rules and regulations.

“The juvenile accused has completed the RTO's driver safety programme. In accordance with the court's guidelines, the operation was carried out discreetly as it could have resulted in invasion of the juvenile's privacy,” PTI quoted a senior RTO official as saying.

The incident in Pune's Kalyani Nagar district sparked nationwide outrage, partly because the accused was released on bail on lenient terms by the juvenile court and partly because police investigations revealed attempts by his family and some doctors to cover up the crime.

The official also mentioned that the training program included road safety measures, the importance of having a driving license, the meaning of traffic signals and symbols and other related activities.

The youth also completed a training session on the field during the proceedings, the official added. The minor has already submitted the 300-word essay.

Police have filed charges against seven people, including the parents of the minor who was allegedly driving. The 900-page chargesheet was submitted to a Pune court on July 25. However, it did not include the 17-year-old boy, whose case will now be heard separately by the Juvenile Justice Board (JJB).

The boy's parents, as well as two doctors at Sassoon General Hospital, Ajay Taware and Dr. Shrihari Halnor, and staff member Atul Ghatkamble, are accused of switching the boy's blood samples with those of his mother after the accident.
