Pune Porsche Accident: Vishal Agrawal, Father of Vedant Who Fatally Struck Two Techies, Arrested in Aurangabad
Shocking Revelations in Kalyani Nagar Porsche Incident: 45 Missed Calls From Vishal Agarwal To Sunil Tingre
Pune, 21st May 2024: The Pune police have apprehended Vishal Agarwal, a well-known builder from Pune, following a tragic accident involving his underage son, Vedant Agarwal. Vedant was driving a Porsche that fatally struck two IT engineers in the Kalyaninagar area. Vishal Agarwal had been on the run since the incident, leading the Pune Police to deploy multiple teams to find him.
On Tuesday morning, a team from the Pune Police’s crime branch located and arrested Agarwal in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar. He is expected to be brought to Pune by the afternoon and will be presented in court shortly thereafter. Vishal Agarwal was booked under sections 3, 5 and 199 of the Motor Vehicles Act and section 75 of the Juvenile Justice Act for permitting his minor son to drive a car and allowing him to consume alcohol and drive despite knowing that he is a minor. However, Vishal’s son was granted conditional bail by the court on the grounds that he is a minor.
The accident, caused by 17-year-old Vedant Agarwal driving a Porsche, has sparked widespread outrage in Pune. Public anger across the state has been significant, with many questioning the effectiveness of current laws. In response, the Pune Police have taken strict actions, including filing charges against the hotel and bar owners who served alcohol to the minor. Cases have been registered against Prahlad Bhutda, owner of Hotel Cosie, and its manager Sachin Katkar, as well as Sandeep Sangle of the Blak Club at Marriott Suites, and bar counter manager Jayesh Bonkar.
The Pune Police Commissioner, Amitesh Kumar, stated on record that Vedant Agarwal was under the influence when he was driving the car. Accordingly, the Pune police will appeal to a higher court to continue the trial with him as a major accused.
This high-profile case has drawn considerable attention, with the public closely monitoring the judicial proceedings.
