Pune Porsche Accident: Teen Accused's Grandfather Arrested, Slapped With 'Kidnapping' Charge

The grandfather of a 17-year-old boy, who allegedly killed two IT professionals with his luxury Porsche in Pune, has been arrested for the "wrongful confinement" of their family driver, according to an official from the Pune Police. The teenager's father has also been implicated in this case.

On Friday, Pune Police Commissioner Amitesh Kumar revealed that there was an attempt to establish that the high-end car was not driven by the minor.

Following a complaint from the juvenile's family driver, the Yerawada Police registered a separate offense against the teen's grandfather and father under IPC sections 365 (kidnapping with intent to secretly and wrongfully confine a person) and 368 (wrongfully concealing or keeping a person in confinement).

"After the accident, the teen's grandfather and father allegedly took the driver's phone and confined him in their bungalow from May 19 to May 20. The driver was freed by his wife," an official from the crime branch told PTI.

The Porsche, allegedly driven by the teenager who police claim was intoxicated, killed two motorbike-borne software engineers in Kalyani Nagar in the early hours of Sunday.

On Friday, a local court in Pune remanded the six accused, including the teenager's father, in judicial custody. The teenager is currently in an observation home until June 5.
