Prashant Patil, the lawyer of the accused, argued before the Juvenile Justice Board that the teen suffered from depression which is why he got into the habit of drinking
The Juvenile Justice Board on Wednesday cancelled the bail order of the 17-year-old Pune teen who crashed his speeding Porsche into a motorbike killing two people on the spot on Sunday. He has been sent to observation home till June 5.
The parents of the accused can meet him twice a week for an hour.
Police argued in favour of the remand of the 17-year-old driver in front of the Juvenile Justice Board on the grounds that he is not safe outside as people will possibly attack him and people are safe if he is inside.
Prashant Patil, the lawyer of the accused, on the other hand, told the JJB that the teen suffered from depression which is why he got into the habit of drinking.
On the other hand, the father of the 17-year-old, Vishal Agarwal, a real estate developer, was sent to two days of police custody by a session court earlier in the day.
According to the remand copy, Vishal Agarwal was not cooperating with police in the investigation therefore, Pune police sought his custody for further questioning.
