According to news agency PTI, quoting officials, the father of the minor accused in the accident has been sent to police custody until May 24. According to officials, the father of the minor accused was not cooperating in the investigation, prompting Pune police to seek him for further questioning in the case. When the police gave him notice to join the investigation before his arrest, he misled them by stating that he was in Shirdi. He was, however, found to be in Aurangabad.
The incident took place in the early hours of May 19 when a luxury car, driven by the accused juvenile, collided with a motorcycle near Kalyani Nagar in Pune.
The minor, the son of a well-known real estate developer, was granted bail hours after the incident under the condition that he would work with the Yerwada traffic police for 15 days and write an essay on road accidents. The conditions of the bail prompted widespread outrage, and the Pune Police said that they would appear against it in the higher court.
Police had also sought the custody of the staff of the bar where the accused teenager and his friend were served liquor. The police, during their investigation, also found that there was no board on the premises of the bar that said alcohol couldn't be served to minors.
On Tuesday, the Pune Excise Department sealed the Cosie Bar and the Black Bar in Pune. These establishments allegedly served liquor to the minor before the accident, officials reported. The managers of the bars were also arrested by the police.
