(MENAFN- Live Mint) New details emerged this week as the Pune Police filed a 'supplementary final report' in the Porsche crash case. Officials claim that the teenage accused - as well as several members of his family - had been drunk at the time of the accident. Doctors at the government-run Sassoon Hospital had subsequently been bribed to lie about the alcohol levels in order to 'save the teen'.
Charges against the juvenile driver now include evidence destruction and corruption alongside the primary accusation of 'culpable homicide not amounting to murder'.
The teenager is accused of driving a Porsche under the influence of alcohol in the wee hours of May 19 when it hit a motorbike in the Kalyani Nagar area. Two young IT professionals had been killed in the accident.

According to the police, the accused as well as his parents and brother had been drunk at the time of the crash. Eyewitnesses at the crash site further claimed that the boy had been so intoxicated that he could barely stand. A preliminary medical report however claimed soon afterwards that the juvenile had a 'negative' reading for blood alcohol.
The police have now invoked the Prevention of Corruption Act against the 17-year-old and accuses him of colluding with his parents, doctors from the government-run Sassoon Hospital and some middlemen to swap the samples. Blood was taken allegedly from ultimately from his mother to hide the fact that the juvenile was drunk.
