Pune Porsche Crash: After massive outrage following the death of two IT professionals, who were mowed to death by a 17-year-old boy driving a Porsche, the Pune Police Commissioner Amitesh Kumar on Friday said that there is an attempt being made to frame a driver instead of the teen accused of running over two people. The Pune top cop also said that an attempt was made to change the driver after the crash to save the minor from legal trouble. 

"Effort was made to change the driver during that period...We are investigating this also...It is true that at the start the driver had said that he was driving the car...We are investigating this part also under whose pressure the driver made that statement we are investigating it,” Kumar said during a press conference, as quoted by news agency ANI. 

The Pune Police Commissioner, however, dismissed the reports that the car was being handled by the driver and said that they had video footage to prove that the 17-year-old boy was driving the luxury car.

“We have the CCTV footage of him drinking liquor in the pub. The point of saying this is that our case is not alone depending on the blood report we have other evidence also. He (the minor accused) was in his senses. It was not as if all of them were so drunk that they could not understand anything. They had full knowledge that due to their conduct, an incident like section 304 cab happen," the Police Commissioner said. 

The Pune Police Commissioner also dismissed reports that the 17-year-old boy was served "pizzas and burgers" at the police station following the incident. "On the allegations of preferential treatment given to the accused as of now, nothing has been found in the investigation...If we receive any information that the eyewitness had to face any trouble action will be taken against those police personnel as well...We have not received the blood report yet. The blood report was taken at the very first and sent to forensic...We have requested the forensic to take a DNA sample of both the samples,” he said.
