A 17-year-old boy was allegedly driving the Porsche when it hit two people and killed them

Pune:

A committee looking into alleged discrepancies in a report by a non-judicial member of the Juvenile Justice Board (JJB) in the Pune Porsche crash case has found lapses in the report, sources said.

The JJB’s non-judicial member, Dr LN Danwade, had released the 17-year-old teen, who allegedly drove the Porsche that rammed two IT engineers and killed them, on bail within 15 hours of the accident.

The committee in a report to the Social Justice Department now said among the many red flags in the way Dr Danwade handled the matter, he did not consider the flaws in the blood report, which did not come from the police.

The JJB also did not make a roster as is the norm, and Dr Danwade gave the decision to release the accused teen “in haste”, the committee said in its report.

The order should have been given only in the presence of more JJB members, but no one from the JJB apart from Dr Danwade was present in court at the time the bail order was given, the committee said.
