The Pune Crime Branch have framed charges after two doctors were arrested for allegedly manipulating the blood test report of 17-year-old Vedant Aggarwal.
The father of the 17-year-old Pune teen - who killed two people while "heavily drunk" and driving his dad's Rs 2.5 crore Porsche electric sports car - faces additional charges of forgery, criminal conspiracy, and destruction of evidence. The father - a city-based real estate mogul arrested trying escape the cops - already faces charges of wilful neglect of his child under the Juvenile Justice Act.
The father is presently in jail till June 7 on charges of cheating; he reportedly failed to pay the Rs 1,758 registration fee for the expensive, high-performance car. He will likely be produced before a district court - by the Crime Branch, which has taken over all related cases - on other charges.
The boy's grandfather has also been arrested and is now in police custody; he has been accused of "wrongfully confining" a family staffer - the driver of the Porsche that ferried the teen and two of his friends at the start of a drinking binge meant to celebrate passing the Class 12 exams - who was reportedly threatened and bribed, with cash and gifts, to take responsibility for the horrific incident.
