2 Doctors Arrested for Tampering with Porsche Teen’s Blood Report: Sources

Pune: In the latest twist in the Pune Porsche horror, two doctors have been arrested for allegedly manipulating the blood test report of a 17-year-old accused, son of a prominent Pune realtor. The teenager was reportedly heavily drunk at the time of the accident, which resulted in the deaths of two 24-year-old software engineers.

Sources reveal that Dr. Ajay Tawre and Dr. Shri Hari Harnor of Sassoon Hospital have been taken into custody by the Pune Crime Branch, which is handling the investigation. Dr. Tawre serves as the head of the forensic lab at the state-run hospital.

The incident, which involved the teenager’s late-night reckless driving, has sparked nationwide outrage. The arrest of the doctors adds a significant development to the case, highlighting alleged attempts to shield the accused through falsified medical reports.

Authorities are continuing their investigation, and the public is closely watching for further developments in this case that has raised serious questions about accountability and justice.

On Saturday last week, the Pune Police arrested the grandfather claiming that both the teenager’s father and grandfather put pressure on the family’s driver to take the blame for the accident by offering him money and giving threats. 

Surendra Agarwal was arrested for “illegal confinement” of the driver, and a court subsequently remanded him in police custody till May 28. The minor’s father, in judicial custody in another case registered in connection with the May 19 accident, too was named in the FIR. After the accident, the driver gave a statement at the Yerawada police station that he was at the wheel….But it was revealed that the teen was driving the car, as per police reports.

After the driver left the Yerawada police station, Vishal Agarwal and his grandfather whisked him in a car to his house on the premises of their bungalow, confiscated his phone and confined him there, the top cop claimed.

“He was pressured to give a statement to police as per their directions,” Amitesh Kumar said, adding that the driver was offered gifts and cash for owning up the crash of the Porsche driven by the teenager, and also threatened.

The Agarwal family offered to pay the driver “any amount he quoted,” the commissioner said, adding that his wife reached the place the next day and freed him.

“The driver was frightened. He was summoned and his statement was recorded on Thursday (May 23). After corroboration of facts, an offence was registered against the juvenile’s father and grandfather (on the driver’s complaint),” Kumar said. The Agarwal family offered to pay the driver “any amount he quoted,” the commissioner said, adding that his wife reached the place the next day and freed him.
