A court in Pune on May 27 allowed the police to take custody of Vishal Agarwal, the father of the 17-year-old involved in a car crash, from the Yerwada Central Jail in connection with the case of kidnapping and wrongful confinement of his driver.
Mr. Agarwal is in judicial custody in a case registered against him and the managers and owners of two pubs under the Juvenile Justice Act and is lodged in the central jail.
The Pune police had moved an application for a production warrant of the father in the kidnapping and wrongful confinement case.
“The court has allowed the application for the production warrant of the juvenile’s father, and he will be taken into custody from the jail,” said a police officer from Pune police.
The case relates to a tragic incident where two IT professionals died after their motorcycle was hit by a speeding Porsche allegedly driven by Agarwal’s minor son in the early hours of May 19 in the Kalyani Nagar area of Pune city.
