Pune Crime Branch has arrested two more people in the blood sample swapping case in Pune Porsche Crash. Shivani Agarwal was arrested after the minor accused’s blood sample was swapped with his mother. But on the night of the accident, two more friends of the minor accused were present in the car. Blood samples of both were also swapped. One of these samples was swapped with his father, after that the other sample was swapped with someone else. Finally both the persons were arrested by the police, CP Amitesh Kumar has confirmed this.
According to Dr. Ajay Taware, head of the forensic department of Sasoon Hospital, Dr. Halnore had changed these samples. Sasoon hospital employee Atul Ghatkamble is also involved in this. The police have already arrested these three. Along with this, a charge sheet of total 900 pages has been filed in the entire case.
Additional Police Commissioner Shailesh Balkavade said, “We have filed a 900-page chargesheet in a Pune court against seven accused, including the minor’s parents, two doctors and an employee of Sassoon General Hospital and two middlemen.” The police’s massive chargesheet includes statements of 50 witnesses. Additional Police Commissioner Balkavade said that the chargesheet includes the accident impact analysis report, technical evidence, forensic laboratory and DNA reports.
The police had prepared a crash impact analysis report with the help of a forensic expert. The aim of the report is to correlate the impact of the Porsche car on the motorcycle involved in the accident and also establish a connection with the injuries of the IT professionals who died.
Two software engineers, Aneesh Avadhiya and Ashwini Koshta, died in a Porsche car accident on May 19 in Pune, Maharashtra. The young man who was driving the car was a minor. Allegedly, the minor accused was in an inebriated state and was driving the Porsche car at a very high speed. The juvenile justice board granted bail to the minor accused on the same day and ordered him to be kept under the care of his parents and grandfather. Along with this, the court also laid down the condition that the minor accused would have to write an essay of 300 words on road safety.
However, the police later filed an application before the board, seeking modification of the bail order. Following this, on May 22, the board ordered the detention of the minor accused and sending him to a juvenile home.
Subsequently, during investigation into the case, police found that the blood samples had been tampered with and added sections 201 (causing disappearance of evidence), 120 B (criminal conspiracy), 467 (forgery of valuable security), 213 (accepting gift to secure punishment for offender) and 214 (offering gift or restoration of property to offender for original offence registered against minor).
Moreover, the main offence was registered under sections 304 (culpable homicide not amounting to murder), 304A (causing death by negligence), 279 (rash driving) of the IPC and relevant sections of the Motor Vehicles Act.
