Pune Porsche crash

On May 19, two software engineers Anish Awadhiya and Ashwini Koshta were killed after their motorcycle was hit by a Porsche allegedly driven by a 17-year-old teenager in Pune's Kalyani Nagar area.

The Juvenile Justice Board's decision to grant bail to the teenager on lenient conditions including an essay on road safety and pledging to spend 15 days with traffic police had triggered nationwide outrage.

After the outcry, the JJB had remanded the teenager to remand home on May 22. But on June 25, the Bombay high court ruled the detention illegal. The minor was released on bail and did submit the essay on road safety as mandated by the juvenile board.

Mumbai BMW crash

Mihir Shah was arrested by the police after evading arrest for three days.
