All About Pune Porsche Crash Case

On May 18, the 17-year-old, son of builder Vishal Agarwal, knocked down two bike-borne software engineers with his luxury car in the Kalyani Nagar. He was allegedly driving a Rs 2.5-crore Porsche Taycan with his friends to celebrate his Class 12 results. 

After consuming alcohol at two pubs (Cosie and Blak) and racking up a bill of ₹48,000, the drunk teen and two companions rammed the Porsche into a two-wheeler, at a speed exceeding 150 kmph. The accident resulted in the deaths of two techies – Aneesh Awadhiya and Ashwini Koshta. 

Awadhiya, who was riding the two-wheeler, was sent airborne and collided with a parked car, while Ashwini Koshta, the pillion rider, was flung 20 feet into the air.
Within 15 hours of the accident, the super-rich brat was granted bail, with one of the conditions being to pen a 300-word essay. However, the Juvenile Board soon reviewed its decision after a nationwide outrage and calls for justice. Subsequently, he was remanded to a juvenile remand home until June 5.
