Supreme Court grants bail to three accused in the 2024 Pune luxury car crash that killed two IT professionals.
The Supreme Court on Monday (February 2, 2026) granted bail to three accused in the 2024 Pune luxury car accident case that claimed two lives, while observing that parents are to be blamed for such incidents involving juveniles.
A bench of Justices B.V. Nagarathna and Ujjal Bhuyan observed that parents are not able to control their children.
"Substance abuse is another thing but giving them [children] car keys and funds to have a gala time is unacceptable," the court observed.
On January 23, the top court sought a response from the Maharashtra government on a plea filed by accused Amar Santish Gaikwad seeking bail in the case.
Mr. Gaikwad represented by advocate Sana Raees Khan was alleged to be a middleman, who gave ₹3 lakh to the assistant of a doctor in a hospital to replace a blood sample of the juvenile accused.
On May 19, 2024, a luxury car allegedly driven by a 17-year-old boy under the influence of alcohol, fatally knocked down two IT professionals in Pune's Kalyani Nagar area.
