Pune: The Juvenile Justice Board (JJB) on Tuesday asked the Pune police to file a written submission on a plea seeking release of the Porsche Taycan car involved in the May 19 crash and currently in custody of the Yerawada police. A senior police officer, who did not wish to be named, told TOI that an authorised representative of the company in whose name the high-end car was bought, had filed the application. The company is headed by a prominent city-based builder whose 17-year-old son was behind the wheel at the time of the accident in Kalyaninagar that claimed the lives of two young software engineers.

The Yerawada police then impounded the car, and it has since been lying on the police station premises. While the teenage driver is now in custody of his paternal aunt after the Bombay high court ordered his release from the Yerawada observation home, his father and mother are lodged in Yerawada jail under judicial custody in a case of manipulating his blood alcohol test. The officer said, “We are yet to receive a copy of the application.



However, we will oppose the release of the car as our investigation is still on and a supplementary report is to be filed before the JJB.” The JJB on Tuesday deferred till September 28 the hearing on the Pune police’s plea seeking the underage driver’s trial as an adult. “The probation officer under the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection) Act 2015 has filed his report related to the assessment of the minor.

However, the JJB is yet to receive the minor’s psychiatric assessment and deaddiction reports besides the regional transport office’s report regarding compliance with the conditions put forth at the time of granting him bail on the evening of May 19,” the senior police officer said.
