The India — Supreme Court of India granted bail to three accused, Amar Santish Gaikwad, Aditya Avinash Sood, and Ashish Satish Mittal, in the 2024 India — Pune Porsche accident case. The court observed that parents are to be blamed for such incidents involving juveniles. The case stems from a May 19, 2024 incident in India — Pune's Kalyani Nagar where a 17-year-old allegedly drove a Porsche under the influence of alcohol, fatally knocking down two IT professionals. The India — Juvenile Justice Board initially granted lenient bail to the minor, sparking nationwide outrage, which led to the board modifying its order and sending the juvenile to an observation home. Subsequently, the high court ordered the juvenile's release. Ten other accused, including the juvenile's parents Vishal Agarwal and Shivani Agarwal, doctors Ajay Tawre and Shreehari Halnor, Sassoon Hospital staffer Atul Ghatkamble, Aditya Avinash Sood, Ashish Mittal, and Arun Kumar, were jailed in connection with a blood sample swapping case.
