Porsche accident probe reveals mother role in swapping blood sample

Pune Police have arrested the mother of the teen accused of running over two people while driving a luxury car Porsche. The mother swapped her blood sample in order to prove that her son wasn’t drunk when the accident occurred, police said.

Commissioner of Police Amitesh Kumar said the accident investigation has revealed that the minor’s blood samples were replaced with those of his mother.

The investigation revealed efforts by the influential family to cover up the crime. They first tried to convince their family driver to take the blame for the chilling crash in lieu of cash. When he denied it, they kidnapped him and kept forcing him to confess.

While the 17-year-old minor has been sent to an observation home, his father and grandfather have been arrested for allegedly kidnapping the family’s driver and putting pressure on him to take the blame.

There were also irregularities in the 17-year-old’s medical examination at the state-run Sassoon Hospital and the Maharashtra Medical Education had appointed a three-member committee headed by Dr Pallavi Sapale, dean of Mumbai-based Grants Medical College, to look into the matter.

The teen’s mother had earlier appeared in a video message saying that a viral video purportedly featuring her son was fake. She had also appealed to the police to “protect” her son and broke down on camera.

Two techies were killed on May 19 in Pune’s Kalyani Nagar after a Porsche allegedly being driven by a drunk minor rammed into their two-wheeler.
