New Delhi: Pune Police investigation into the deadly Porsche crash that claimed the lives of two IT professionals has taken a significant turn. On Saturday, authorities arrested Surendra Agarwal, the grandfather of the 17-year-old boy involved in the accident.

Driver pressured to take responsibility

Agarwal is accused of pressuring the driver, Gangaram, to take the blame for the accident. Police allege that Agarwal coerced Gangaram into falsely stating to authorities that he, rather than the teenager, was behind the wheel of the Porsche at the time of the collision.

Fatal accident and resulting charges

The crash, which occurred on May 19, involved a Porsche driven by the teenager colliding with a motorbike carrying Aneesh Awadhiya and his partner Ashwini Koshta. Sadly, both Awadhiya and Koshta tragically lost their lives in the accident.

Third FIR filed

Agarwal's arrest marks a significant development in the ongoing investigation. He was apprehended at his residence in the early hours of Saturday morning. This arrest stems from a new case registered by the Pune crime branch, making it the third FIR (First Information Report) filed in connection with the Porsche crash.
