The Pune Police have arrested the mother of the teenager involved in the Pune Porsche crash for allegedly helping to swap his blood sample after the accident.
This is the fourth arrest from the family, with the minor, his father, and grandfather already apprehended.
The arrest comes days after the Pune Police told a local court that the blood samples of the juvenile driver were allegedly exchanged with those of a woman.
The Porsche car was found without a number plate in Pune.
The Pune Police had arrested two doctors at Sassoon Hospital for allegedly manipulating the minor's blood sample.
Two software engineers, Anish Awadhiya and Ashwini Koshta, were killed in the early hours of May 19 in Pune's Kalyani Nagar after a Porsche allegedly being driven by the drunk minor rammed into their two-wheeler.
The 17-year-old minor has been sent to an observation home, while his father, realtor Vishal Agarwal, and grandfather, Surendra Agarwal, have been arrested for allegedly kidnapping the family's driver and pressuring him to take the blame.
The Pune Police have received permission to question the minor in the presence of his counselors and family members.
The teenager is the son of real estate developer Vishal Agarwal.
He was initially granted bail by the Juvenile Justice Board (JJB) with a condition to write a 300-word essay, sparking a massive public outcry.
The Pune Police later approached the JJB, which remanded the boy to an observation home for 14 days till June 5.
