On May 19th, a speeding Porsche, allegedly driven by a 17-year-old drunk boy, hit a motorcycle in Kalyani Nagar in Pune, killing two 24-year-old IT professionals, Ashwini Koshta and Anish Awadhiya.
The subsequent revelations of a massive cover-up to ensure the minor gets off the hook allegedly involving his kin as well as doctors from a state-run hospital in Maharashtra's second largest city provoked national outrage.
The deceased's father, Suresh Koshta, met Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde over the phone on Saturday.
Suresh Koshta said that CM Shinde expressed grief over the incident and assured him of a thorough investigation in the case.
He asserted that the culprits will not be spared and that he will monitor the case and review it daily.
Suresh Koshta also expressed shock at the alleged involvement of the juvenile's mother in the conspiracy to change the blood samples collected to test alcohol consumption.
He said he was extremely pained to see so many departments indulge in corrupt practices to cover up the matter.
On Saturday, the juvenile's mother was arrested after the Pune police's probe confirmed that his blood samples were replaced with hers.
During the day, the Pune police spoke to the minor for about an hour in their presence of his mother in the observation home where he is lodged till June 5.
Pune police have so far arrested the minor's father, grandfather, two doctors and a staffer of government-run Sassoon Hospital for alleged involvement in various aspects of the case, ranging from swapping of blood samples to confining and threatening a driver to take blame for the crash.
