The boy's mother is accused of swapping her blood sample with that of her son to conceal his inebriation at the time of the accident.
Four days after the Supreme Court granted her interim bail, the mother of teen involved in Pune Porsche crash walked out of jail on Saturday. Her 17-year-old son allegedly drove Porsche car in an inebriated state, fatally knocking down two IT professionals on a two-wheeler in Pune's Kalyani Nagar in the early hours of May 19 last year. She is the first among the 10 accused arrested in the alleged blood sample-swapping case to be released on bail. The others in custody include the teenager's father, Sassoon Hospital doctors Ajay Taware and Shrihari Halnor, hospital staffer Atul Ghatkamble, two middlemen, and three others.
The boy's mother is accused of swapping her blood sample with that of her son to conceal his inebriation at the time of the accident. While granting the mother interim bail, the Supreme Court had directed a Pune court to set the bail conditions. Accordingly, the district and sessions court heard arguments from both sides on Friday.
Special public prosecutor Shishir Hiray represented the state, while advocates Angad Gill and Dhvani Shah appeared for the woman. Advocate Hiray said, "We sought conditions such as barring her from staying in Pune district, a passport seizure, mandatory police station attendance, and keeping her mobile location on at all times." Additional sessions judge Amol Shinde, however, rejected the prosecution's plea to restrict her from staying in Pune but accepted other conditions.
The defence lawyers opposed the condition of her staying out of Pune, citing her husband's custody and the need for her presence in the city to assist in the legal proceedings. They also objected to the proposed Rs 5 lakh surety and daily police station visits. "We argued that since the chargesheet has been filed and no recovery is pending from her, such strict conditions are unwarranted," the defence counsel said.
The court accepted the arguments and imposed standard bail conditions, including a personal bond of Rs 1 lakh, submission of her passport to the investigating officer, mandatory mobile tower location sharing, and a ban on leaving India without court permission. The court has also barred the woman from disclosing her identity for three months and asked her to report to the police station every Wednesday.
