Additionally, a check of Rs 10 lakh was given to the parents of the victims who died in the Pune Porsche hit-and-run case.

The checks were handed over by the Chief Minister at the Sahyadri guest house today.

Parents of both deceased thanked the Chief Minister, and the Government of Maharashtra.

CM Shinde thanked the Maharashtra Police for taking up this case afresh and taking action against all the culprits to bring justice to their children.

On this occasion, Minister Sanjay Rathod, Chief Secretary Dr Nitin Karir, Chief Minister’s Office Principal Secretary Vikas Kharge and Pune Yuva Sena Secretary Kiran Sali, other members of the victim’s family, were present.

The Bombay High Court granted bail to the juvenile accused in the Pune car accident case on Tuesday.

The court ordered the release of the minor into the care and custody of his paternal aunt.The bench noted the Juvenile Justice Board’s (JJB) remand orders were illegal and passed without jurisdiction.

Speaking to the media about the case’s development, Prashant Patil, the advocate for the minor accused, said, “The child in conflicting law was arrested on May 19, 2024 and was released on bail. After his release on bail on May 22, 2024, the Juvenile Justice Board (JJB) took custody of the child under a conflicting law.”

“That particular custody was illegal per se. Today we challenged the three remands of the JJB before the High Court. The writ of Habeas Corpus was filed by the paternal aunt of the child in conflicting law. Section 12 of the particular act was the backbone of the writ and we argued that,, be it a bailable offence or a non-bailable offence, the code of CrPc does not apply to a child of conflicting law and thats why we requested his immediate release,” he said.

“Today, the honourable Bombay High Court set aside those orders and ordered the immediate release of the child under conflicting laws,” said advocate Patil.
