PUNE: Maharashtra deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar addressed allegations linking Pune MLA Sunil Tingre to Porsche crash that resulted in the deaths of two software engineers. Pawar stated that baseless accusations are being made against Tingre, who belongs to the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and represents the Vadgaon Sheri assembly constituency in Pune city.
Tingre belongs to the Pawar-led Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and represents the Vadgaon Sheri assembly constituency in Pune city. Earlier, there were allegations that Tingre had intervened to ensure that the juvenile got favourable treatment from police after the accident.
Responding to questions about Tingre’s alleged involvement in the case, Pawar said, “Sunil Tingre is an MLA of the area where the incident took place. Whenever such incidents take place, the local MLA often visits the site. Did Sunil Tingre try to suppress the matter? The allegations against him are baseless.”
When asked if he had called up Pune Police Commissioner Amitesh Kumar after this incident, Pawar said, “I often call the commissioner of police over multiple issues but I haven’t made a single call to him in this case.”
“I often call the commissioner of police over multiple issues but I haven’t made a single call to him in this case,” Pawar said.
The crash, which occurred in Kalyani Nagar in Pune on May 19, involved a Porsche allegedly driven by a minor, who the police claim was intoxicated. The incident resulted in the deaths of two IT professionals.
Pawar said that Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis, who heads the home department, had instructed the Pune police the day after the accident to carry out an intensive probe.
“Even the chief minister (Eknath Shinde) has given the right instructions. Action was taken against those police officials who initially delayed the procedure. Those from Sassoon General Hospital who were involved in the case have also faced police action,” he added.
In the aftermath, the minor was sent to an observation home until June 5. His father, realtor Vishal Agarwal, and grandfather, Surendra Agarwal, were arrested for allegedly pressuring their driver to take the blame.
Additionally, police arrested two doctors and a staffer from Sassoon hospital for allegedly swapping the minor’s blood samples with his mother’s to mask his intoxication at the time of the accident.
In the latest action, the teenager’s mother was arrested.
