The Maharashtra Congress has accused the ruling Mahayuti government of trying to derail the investigation into the Pune Porsche Crash that resulted in two fatalities. On Tuesday, the party demanded that the case be handed over to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
State Congress President Nana Falgunrao Patole called for stepping down as Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, citing troubling political connections emerging from the police investigation. Patole criticized the prevalence of incidents where ordinary citizens are harmed by speeding cars driven by individuals under the influence of alcohol and drugs. He mentioned similar accidents in Pune, Nagpur, and Jalgaon, where the government appeared to assist the accused in securing bail quickly.
Patole also pointed out the government’s neglect of illegal drug sales in Pune and the presence of unauthorized pubs and bars in both Pune and Nagpur. He noted that 36 such establishments were demolished after the Porsche crash gained national attention.
In a related development, the Porsche case has taken a new turn with the involvement of NCP MLA Sunil Tingre. Tingre allegedly visited the Yerawada Police Station shortly after the accident on May 19, where a minor was arrested. He recommended Dr. Ajay Taware who was later arrested, for a position at Sassoon General Hospital. Dr. Taware, along with Dr. Shrihari Halnor and peon Atul Ghatkamble, were arrested for allegedly tampering with the minor’s blood sample.
Medical Education Minister Hasan Mushrif has promised strict action against the implicated doctors. The government is considering suspensions, departmental inquiries, and a special probe led by Dr. Pallavi Saple, which began on Tuesday.
At a briefing, Patole was joined by RS MP Chandrakant Handore, Minority Department President Wajahat Mirza, former MP Hussain Dalwai, and Chief Spokesperson Atul Londhe. Pune Porsche Crash
