Police officials in Maharashtra's Pune district took custody of a 17-year-old boy on Monday, accusing him of attempting to run over a woman with his car after a heated argument at Vadgaon Ghenand village in the Alandi area on Saturday.
This incident has drawn parallels to the infamous Porsche car case from May 19, where a juvenile boy collided with a motorbike in Pune's Kalyani Nagar locality, resulting in the deaths of two IT professionals. The juvenile involved in that incident is currently held in a correctional facility, while his parents, both doctors, and an alleged middleman are in judicial custody.
In a recent incident, a video circulating on social media captured the reckless driving of a car that struck a woman. Prior to this, the boy had reportedly verbally abused the woman's husband and father-in-law. Subsequently, he entered his car and threatened to harm the couple. Police allege that the boy then drove the vehicle recklessly, ultimately hitting the woman, who fortunately sustained only minor injuries.
A police official from Pimpri Chinchwad stated, "The juvenile has been apprehended and presented before the Juvenile Justice Board, which has ordered his placement in an observation home. We have submitted a request to try the minor as an adult in this case." The case has been registered at the Alandi police station.
According to authorities, the minor faces charges under various sections of the Indian Penal Code, including 307 for attempted murder, along with violations of the Motor Vehicles Act.
