What is the case?
Notably, two IT professionals died after their motorcycle was hit by a speeding Porsche allegedly driven by the drunk minor in the early hours of May 19.
The teenager was initially granted bail by the Juvenile Justice Board, which also asked him to write an essay on road accidents. But after the public outcry over the lenient treatment and a review application by the police, he was sent to an observation home. The crime branch is currently probing the case.
The police have arrested the teenager's father, mother, who is a realtor, and his grandfather in connection with the accident.
