Pune Porsche Accident: In response to the incident involving the tampering of blood samples of the prime accused in a Porsche crash, the state government has formed a special three-member panel to investigate the matter and submit its findings, officials reported on Tuesday. Meanwhile, the father and grandfather of the minor accused who mowed down two techies in Pune in the early hours of May 19, were remanded to police custody till May 31. 

The special panel has arrived at Sassoon Hospital to question the Dean and other officials in the wake of the shocking revelations that some medical staff tampered with the blood samples of the minor accused involved in the Porsche crash, which resulted in the deaths of two techies. Dr Saple mentioned to the media that the panel would thoroughly investigate all aspects and report back to the government.

The panel is headed by Dr Pallavi Saple, Head of Sir JJ Hospital in Mumbai, with Dr Gajanan Chauhan of Grant Medical College, Mumbai, and Dr Sudhir Choudhary of Government Medical College & Hospital, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar.

Earlier, the Pune Commissioner of Police Amitesh Kumar had told media persons that the 17-year-old boy's blood sample was thrown in the dustbin, and replaced with the blood sample of another person in a bid to save the minor accused. Consequently, Dr Ajay Taware, Head of Forensics, and Dr Shrihari Halnor from the Blood Bank, along with peon Atul Ghatkamble, have been arrested and placed in police custody until May 30.

The 17-year-old boy, the son of a prominent Pune-based real estate developer, fatally knocked down two motorbike-riding software engineers in Kalyani Nagar, Pune, in the early hours of May 19. The crash has ignited widespread national outrage, particularly due to the swift granting of bail to the teenager within just 15 hours. Many have criticised the conditions of his release as inadequate. A 17-year-old boy was granted bail on a surety of Rs 7,500 and an assurance from his grandfather to keep him away from bad company.
