In a significant update on the Pune Porsche crash case, Pune police have apprehended the mother of the teenager accused of fatally hitting two people with a luxury car.

According to the police, the mother substituted her blood sample to falsely indicate that her son was not intoxicated at the time of the accident. Commissioner of Police Amitesh Kumar stated that the investigation uncovered that the minor's blood samples had been switched with those of his mother.

The tragic incident occurred on May 19 in Pune's Kalyani Nagar, where two tech professionals lost their lives after a Porsche, allegedly driven by an inebriated minor, collided with their two-wheeler.

While the 17-year-old minor has been sent to an observation home, his father and grandfather have been arrested for allegedly kidnapping the family’s driver and coercing him to take the blame for the incident.

The investigation uncovered attempts by the influential family to conceal the crime. Initially, they offered their driver money to take responsibility for the fatal crash. When he refused, they resorted to kidnapping and continuously pressuring him to confess.

There were also irregularities in the 17-year-old's medical examination at the state-run Sassoon Hospital. Consequently, the Maharashtra Medical Education department appointed a three-member committee, led by Dr. Pallavi Sapale, dean of Mumbai-based Grant Medical College, to investigate the matter.

Previously, the teen's mother appeared in a video message claiming that a viral video allegedly featuring her son was fake. She appealed to the police to "protect" her son and broke down on camera.

Aneesh Awadhiya and Ashwini Kostha, both 24-year-old engineers from Madhya Pradesh, tragically lost their lives when a speeding Porsche struck their bike late on May 19. The teen, alleged to have been driving the car while intoxicated, was released on bail within 15 hours under conditions widely criticized as lenient. He was required to write a 300-word essay, work with traffic police for 15 days, and seek treatment for his drinking habit.
