The Pune police itself wants to treat the minor accused responsible for this accident like an adult and had demanded the remand of the minor accused. But the system of our country does not allow this. Even if a 17-year-old minor drives after drinking alcohol or has killed two people with his car.
The system of our country is such that if the age of the accused of the most serious crime is even one day less than 18 years, then he is considered a child. But Pune Police has also decided that it will file an FIR against the minor accused’s father, who not only gave his minor son the keys to his car but also gave him a license to endanger people’s lives on the road.

There is no doubt that the juvenile was driving the car after drinking alcohol. We will present these facts in the court.’
Investigation handed over to ACP level officer
He said, ‘We have lodged an FIR against her father under sections 75 and 77 of the Juvenile Justice Act. We have also registered a case against the bar owner for serving alcohol to a person below the prescribed age.

We will appoint a special advocate in this case.’
