Pune Porsche car crash: In more trouble for the father and grandfather of the juvenile involved in the May 19 Porsche car crash in Pune, the police have booked both in a separate case related to abetment of suicide of a businessman's son in the city. The juvenile's grandfather is currently in judicial custody for alleged kidnapping and wrongful confinement of their family driver, who was pressured to tell the police that he was behind the wheels when the fatal accident took place. The 17-year-old boy's father, real estate developer Vishal Agarwal, and his mother are currently in police custody in a case related to the juvenile's blood samples swapping.
What is the case
According to the police, a complaint in this regard was registered by a man, D S Kature, who runs a construction business in Pune's Vadgaon Sheri area, against one Vinay Kale, from whom his son Shashikant Kature, had taken a loan for construction work. After he could not pay the loan on time, Kale allegedly started adding compounding interest to the principal amount and harassing Shashikant Kature. Fed up with constant harassment, Shashikant Kature committed suicide in January this year, they said. A case was registered against Kale under IPC sections 306 (abetment of suicide ) and 506 (criminal intimidation) at the Chandannagar police station in the city.
"During investigation, the role of the juvenile's father (a builder), grandfather and three others cropped up in the suicide case. We have now added sections 420 (cheating) and 34 (common intention) of the IPC to the case," said a police officer without elaborating on their alleged role in the episode.
