Bombay High Court Rejects Bail Plea Of Seven Accused In Pune Porsche Car Hit-And-Run Case

The Bombay High Court on Tuesday rejected the bail applications of 7 accused named in the Pune Porsche hit and run case, wherein two persons were killed in the tragic accident.

Single-judge Justice Shyam Chandak dismissed the bail applications of seven accused including the father of the prime accused, a juvenile, who was driving the car at the time of the incident.

A detailed copy of the order is yet to be made available.

The court has dismissed the bail applications of Vishal Agarwal, Ashish Mittal, Aditya Sood, Arunkumar Singh, Ashpak Makandar, Dr Ajay Taware and Dr Shrihari Halnor.

Appearing for State, special public prosecutor Shishir Hiray had argued that the accused fabricated the very vital evidence in the case which was blood samples of the minor accused. He further highlighted the fact the witnesses in the case are medical students, poor persons etc and can be easily threatened.

While Vishal is the father of the prime minor accused, Dr Taware and Halnor are booked for replacing the blood samples of the prime accused and the other minor accused who was sitting on the passenger seat at the time of the accident.

Taware is the head of the Forensic Medicine Department and Halnor is the Chief Medical Officer.

Makandar is the middleman, who connected Vishal with Taware and Halnor for swapping the blood samples.

Both Mittal and Sood are booked for giving their own blood samples for replacing it with that of the two minor accused. Singh is the one who had asked Sood and Mittal to give their blood samples.
