Police have filed a chargesheet against seven accused in the Porsche car accident case, including the parents of a minor boy who was allegedly behind the wheel, in a Pune court, more than two months a🍃fter the fatal crash, an official said on Friday.
The 900-page cꦅhargesheet, submitted on Thursday, has excluded the 17-year-old boy, whose case is being handled separately by the Juvenile Justice Board (JJB).
The high-end car allegedly driven b💞y the minor under the influence of alcohol knocked down two motorbike-borne IT professionals, one of them a woman, in Pune's Kalyani Nagar area in the wee hours of May 19, killing them.
The boy's father is a prominent builder.
"We have filed a 900-page ꧟chargesheet against seven accused, including the parents of the minor, two doctors and a staffer from Sassoon General Hospital and two middlemen, in a Pune court on Thursday," said Shalesh Balkawade, Additional Commissioner of Police (Crime).
The boy's parents and two Sassoon General Hospital doctors -- Ajay Taware, then-HOD of the forensic medicine department and Dr Shrihari Halnor -- and one Atul Ghatkamble, a staffer at the Maharashtra government-run medical facility, are accused of swapping the 🎀blood samples of the minor with those of his mother after the crash.
Two other accused -- Ashpak Makandar and Amar Gaikwad -- acted as middlemen between the father and the d𒈔octors to facilitate financial transactions to swap the blood samꦐples, according to the chargesheet.
The voluminous police docume♔nt contains statements of🐓 50 witnesses.
Last month, the police had submitted🐬 the final report to the JJB detailing all evidence against the 17-year-old boy in the car crash case.
