Pune Police Move to Court to Try Teen as an Adult in Porsche Crash Case

The Pune Police have approached the sessions court challenging the Juvenile Justice Board’s (JJB) order refusing to try a 17-year-old accused in last year’s Kalyani Nagar Porsche crash as an adult.

The incident killed IT professionals Anish Awadhiya and Ashwini Costa, who were on a motorcycle.

The police termed it an “exceptional case” and sought a psychoanalysis test of the juvenile, alleging he was driving under the influence at the time. The JJB had earlier directed that he be tried under the Juvenile Justice Act.

The sessions court will now decide whether the case meets the criteria for transferring the minor to be tried as an adult.
