The Pune police have uncovered a shocking cover-up attempt in the Porsche crash case involving a 17-year-old boy. According to Pune Police Commissioner Amitesh Kumar, blood samples of the juvenile were discarded and replaced with someone else's samples under the instructions of a doctor from Sassoon General Hospital, after the boy's father offered the doctor incentives. The replaced blood samples showed no traces of alcohol, despite the police's claim that the teenager was drunk at the time of the crash.
The police have arrested Dr Ajay Taware, head of the Sassoon General Hospital's Forensic Medicine department and Dr Shrihari Halnor, the chief medical officer of the state-run hospital. The investigation revealed that the teen's father had made multiple calls to Dr Taware who then instructed to replace the samples. The police caught the foul play by taking an additional blood sample of the juvenile for DNA sampling and sending it to another hospital. The report of the other hospital revealed that the juvenile's blood report at the Sassoon Hospital was manipulated as the DNA of (blood samples of) both the reports did not match.
The Pune police have been allowed custody of realtor Vishal Agrawal from Yerwada Central Jail following a court order on Monday. Vishal and his father, Surendra Agrawal, were also booked for allegedly kidnapping and wrongfully confining their driver. The police have accused the duo of pressurizing the driver to take the blame for the accident by offering money and making threats. The case highlights the lengths to which some individuals will go to protect their loved ones, even if it means breaking the law.
