Naman Pralhad Bhutda : “Pune Porsche Crash: Bar Owner & Others in Custody”

The police have detained the boy’s father

Pune:

A court in Pune has ordered the detention of three individuals – an owner and two managers of different restaurants – in police custody until May 24 following a fatal car accident involving a 17-year-old boy that resulted in the deaths of two individuals.

The individuals in question – Naman Pralhad Bhutda, the owner of Cosie restaurant, its manager Sachin Katkar, and the manager of Blak Club hotel Sandip Sangle – were brought before the court for proceedings.

During the court hearing, the prosecution argued that the accused establishments had served alcohol to the underage boy and his friends without verifying their ages.

After considering the arguments presented by both the prosecution and the defense, Additional Sessions Court Judge S P Ponkshe decided to remand the three accused individuals in police custody until May 24.

According to police reports, a Porsche car, allegedly driven by the intoxicated juvenile, collided with two motorbike riders in Pune’s Kalyani Nagar area, resulting in their tragic deaths.

The victims, identified as Anish Awadhiya and Ashwini Koshta, were both 24-year-old IT professionals from Madhya Pradesh.

On the night of the incident, the accused juvenile and his companions visited the two establishments between 9.30 pm and 1 am, where they reportedly consumed alcohol, as per police investigations.

In addition to the arrests made, the police have also taken the boy’s father, a real estate developer, into custody for further questioning.
