Mumbai: Pune Sessions Court Additional Judge S.P. Ponkshe, the builder father of the minor son in the Porsche car accident case in Kalyaninagar, Pune, has been given three days of police custody. Apart from Agarwal, the hotel owner and two managers who were arrested yesterday have also been given police custody till May 24.
Police have registered a case against the minor's father and the owners and employees of both the bars under sections 75 and 77 of the Juvenile Justice Act. It is alleged that the minor had gone to this bar to drink alcohol and was served alcohol despite being a minor. Section 75 deals with intentionally causing a child to have mental or physical illness or intentionally neglecting a child, while section 77 deals with giving alcohol or drugs to a child.
The government side demanded that Vishal Aggarwal be given seven days' police custody. Who did Aggarwal call in the accident? Why did Chhatrapati go to Sambhaji Nagar? Whom did you want to meet there? The government side requested the Pune Sessions Court to grant seven days' police custody to find answers to such questions and for further investigation. The court has given police custody to Aggarwal for three days.
Builder Vishal Agarwal, the father of the minor, was arrested from Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar yesterday evening for driving a Porsche car under the influence of alcohol and killing two people. The minor son of a builder crushed two people riding a two-wheeler in Kalyaninagar area of Pune on Saturday midnight. Both died on the spot. When the police produced the minor before the Juvenile Justice Board, he turned out to be a minor. Therefore, a crime was registered against father Vishal Agarwal for allowing his minor son to drive the car. Agarwal fled from Pune as soon as the crime was registered. Finally, Pune Police took Agarwal into custody on Tuesday morning and produced him in Pune Sessions Court on Wednesday afternoon.
The government side argued for remand that on whose membership did Black Pub employees Nitish Shewani and Jayesh Bonkar admit the minor? Why did Vishal Aggarwal allow a car to run without a number plate? Why did the father allow his son to go to the pub? How to give pocket money to son? Why did Vishal Aggarwal abscond after the crime was registered? When we met in Sambhajinagar, he had only a simple mobile. Where are the rest of the mobiles? The police asked for seven days' remand to investigate all these questions.
The car driver replied that he wanted to drive but he asked the minor to sit on the side seat. If the car was not registered then why drive the car on the road? This question was asked by the public prosecutor.
