Pune Bar Where Teen Drank Before Running Over 2 Techies With Porsche Sealed
We have appealed to the district court against the Juvenile Justice (JJ) Board order. There is a huge public outrage. I have taken stock of the investigation updates till now," Mr Fadnavis said.
The minor, son of a prominent realtor in Pune, was seen drinking with his friends at a bar hours before the crash. The police have arrested the owners of the bar for allowing underage drinking. The legal drinking age in Maharashtra is 25.
The boy had gone to "two restaurants with 10-12 friends on Saturday night, where they were served alcohol", the police said
The minor is 17 years and 8 months old and as per the Nirbhaya case, anyone above 16 years old should be considered an adult in cases of heinous crimes," stressed the Deputy Chief Minister
Amitesh Kumar dared the opposition and others to prove their charges that the police acted under pressure or went soft on the accused minor whose father is a reputed realty developer in the city.
The police have also arrested the owner of Cosie Bar for allegedly serving alcohol illegally to a minor customer and his friends.
Speaking to NDTV, Mr Kumar said that they were building a "watertight case" against the teen to try him as a minor. "Despite the blood report coming out
negative or positive, we are trying to prove it is a case of culpable homicide not amounting to murder," he said.
