Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], June 25 (ANI): Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Monday met the parents of the two engineers who died in the Pune Porsche crash case and assured them the guilty would not be spared.
Shinde met Omprakash Awadhiya, father of Anish Koshta, and Suresh Koshta, father of Ashwini Koshta, and consoled them. He said that the incident was unfortunate and the culprits would be severely punished.
CM Eknath Shinde spoke to the Commissioner of Police ( CP) Pune and directed him to initiate strict action against illegal pubs and bulldoze all structures which are against the building rules. He also directed the police to initiate renewed action against drug peddlers to make Pune a drug-free city, CMO said in a press statement.
Even though the minor accused in the accident has been released, Shinde assured that the case has been taken up again for investigation. He also clarified that the case will be fast-tracked.
The Chief Minister stated on his ‘X’ handle, “We fully understand the grief caused by the sudden death of one’s young children. So, we decided to provide Rs 10 lakh each from the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund as a special consideration to the families of their two deceased children.”
Shinde added that the government is making efforts to track down all the culprits and ensure that they are punished.
On this occasion, the Youth Sena Secretary Kiran Sali and other relatives of the deceased were present.
The two IT professionals, who were travelling on a bike died on May 19 at 2.30 am after a car allegedly driven by a drunk 17-year-old boy crashed into them.
The investigation unfolded like a bag of worms as his kin allegedly tried to obliterate the evidences against him.
On June 21, the Pune district court granted bail to Vishal Agarwal, the father of the accused teenager in the primary case where he was booked under Section 75 of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015. But, his 77-year-old grandfather is still in judicial custody for allegedly forcing the driver to take responsibility for the crime on behalf of his grandson. (ANI)
