Pune, 20 May 2024: In the wake of a tragic accident involving the minor son of a Bramha Corp builder, Kasba Peth MLA Ravindra Dhangekar has urged the police to reduce the operational hours of pubs and bars in the city. The incident occurred at around 2:30 AM on Saturday night in Kalyani Nagar, where the minor, driving a luxury Porsche at high speed, collided with a two-wheeler, resulting in the deaths of two individuals.

Dhangekar has also announced that he would be holding a dharna outside the Pune Police’s Yerwada Police Station on May 20, 2024 at 4 PM. 

The police have registered a case against the father for permitting his minor son to drive the car. Today, the juvenile court granted the boy bail under specific conditions.

MLA Ravindra Dhangekar has since called for a reduction in pub and bar operating hours, arguing that such a measure will help preserve Pune’s culture and reduce the likelihood of similar accidents. Dhangekar stressed that the minor was driving under the influence, which led to the tragic deaths of an engineer and a young woman on the two-wheeler.

The minor was presented in court and sentenced to 15 days in juvenile detention. Additionally, he is required to write an essay on the topic of ‘accidents’ and assist the Yerwada traffic police in regulating traffic.

A case related to the incident has been filed at the Yerwada police station. The police sought custody of the minor when he was presented in the holiday juvenile court, but the court opted to grant bail instead. According to the boy’s lawyer, Adv. Prashant Patil, the bail was granted with specific terms and conditions.
