PUNE, May 21: The father of the 17-year-old whose rash driving of a Porsche
killed two techies on bike, hitting them from behind, in the wee hours of Sunday
in Pune, was arrested on Tuesday morning. On the run, Vishal Agarwal was apprehended
from Maharashtra's Sambajinagar.
IT engineers Aneesh Awadhiya and Ashwini Koshta, both of 24 years old, were
killed on the spot, and the latter's body was dragged by the luxury car for
over 50 feet. The accident took place in Kalyani Nagar area of Pune.
It has been confirmed that the minor boy was drunk. The CCTV footage at a bar
nearby shows him drinking liquor before hitting the road.
It has also come to light that the Porsche Taycan involved in the accident
had no registration and the accused was driving at 160 kmph.
The police have filed charges against his father, a prominent builder, under
the Juvenile Justice Act. The owner of the bar where he drank has also been
booked for serving alcohol to a minor. The pub has been sealed.
The investigation of cases has been transferred to the crime branch.
According to the police, the accused said in his statement that his father
was aware he had gone for partying and was drinking and had taken the car.
Aneesh Awadhiya and Ashwini Koshta were returning from a get-together late
on Saturday. Around 2:15 am Sunday, their bike was hit from behind by the speeding
Porsche.
The driver of the car, aged 17 years 8 months, was granted bail by a Pune court.
While granting the bail, the court asked him to write a 300-word essay on accidents,
work with traffic police for 15 days and undergo counselling and treatment for
drinking habit.
There was a massive backlash over the Juvenile Justice Board's decisions. The
police said they had pleaded in the court for permission to try the accused
as an adult but was refused. They were later to approach the sessions court.
"The court was moved on the same day for permission to try the juvenile accused
as an adult under Section 15 of the Juvenile Justice Act since the ghastly incident
was a ‘heinous crime’ as defined under Section 2 of the Juvenile Justice Act
with the objective that he doesn’t get bail,” Pune Police Commissioner Amitesh
Kumar stated. They had wanted the non-bailable section 304 IPC applied in the
case.
Aneesh Awadhiya and Ashwini Koshta, both hailing from Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh,
had studied at an engineering college in Pune and were employed at a software
company. .

Two shot dead inside salon in south-west Delhi's Najafgarh
|
One of them is seen in CCTV being shot at close range. The motive is suspected to be personal enmity.
TAILPIECE: Almost every other day we hear of shootings in one place or other in the country. India will very soon replace the US as the world's No 1 in the incidence of mass shooting. It will eclipse terrorism as a source of concern. Who can help? At least, has it occurred to anyone's mind?

Climate protesters attack Mona Lisa in Louvre, spray pumpkin soup
|
“Two activists from the environmental movement ‘Riposte Alimentaire’ sprayed pumpkin soup on the armoured glass protecting the Mona Lisa, this Sunday, January 28, 2024, around 10 am (4aET),” a statement from the museum said.
It is not understood how undesirable elements are allowed to get so close to her
and play havoc with the artwork. Several times over this has happened in the
past, deranged minds masquerading as tourists and cultists venting their frustration.

TRAVEL ALERT: Dog attacks on the rise in Delhi-NCR; woman mauled by three strays
|
Two days earlier, in a similar incident in the area, a domestic help was bitten by a pet dog in the lift when she was going for work.
Tailpiece: Sometimes appearing to outnumnber men and women on the streets, the stray dogs are turning more and more daring with sections of anti-social elements out there to feed and protect them in order to find a window for their unfulfilled love! There is an all-pervading feeling of lack of authority.

Tamil Nadu police arrest ED official for accepting Rs 50 lakh bribe
|
Ankit Tiwari had told the employee that “instructions had been received
from the Prime Minister’s Office to conduct an enquiry” and reopen the
“already disposed of” case and asked him to appear before the ED office
at Madurai on October 30, DVAC said. The doctor was allegedly
threatened with arrest and told to pay a bribe of Rs 3 cr to avoid the ED
probe, which was later negotiated down to Rs 50 lakh.
Tailpiece: We are made to believe RBI, CBI, ED, Judiciary as sacrosanct
and all others like railways, transport, revenue, education, PWD
departments are composed of us the mortals, absolutely corrupt! As if in
the sacrosanct places the angels descend from the heavens to work in the
night and fly away before day-break! Let's be true to ourselves, we are all
cut from the same cloth. |
Centre blocks Mahadev Book, 21 other online betting apps
|
Betting through Dubai-based Mahadev Book in India is conducted through a countrywide network. Probes reveal that the online gambling is worth several millions and top politicians, officials and celebs have been beneficiaries.
TAILPIECE: Polling dates for some States are round the corner. Top
politicians have begun their acrimonious debate who looted more, even as
Mahadev is washing their dirty laundry in the open ghat. Come what may,
one needs to seize power to amass "thy wretched pelf!" One simple
question is, why else one should spend lakhs or crores to get elected! A
question every Indian should ask to oneself at least once a day!

State Govt-Guv ding-dong reaches Supreme Court's door: Kerala joins
TN... |
His inaction amounts to defeating the rights of the people of the State to
welfare measures sought to be implemented through the Bills, the Kerala
Government's petition submitted, while the State of Tamil Nadu remarked
that its "Governor is acting as a political rival."
Tailpiece: Coming up back to back, the petitions in their totality seem to question the provision of Raj Bhavan, and not motives of a Governor as a
person.

10, including kids, die of heart failure at Garba dance performances in
Gujarat
|
Doctors reasoned how the incidence of heart attacks is spiking over time and
advise the simple way to play safely is to take a break and rehydrate
yourself.
But how come ten people, including children, die of cardiac arrest at
Garba in 24 hours, and that at different places of Gujarat? Garba had been going on
for six days, and every year it is celebrated.

Retailers ask UK Govt to act against surging cases of shoplifting, assaults
on workers |
Shocking news from the UK: Leading grocers have started bribing policemen with free food and drinks to persuade them to take action against shoplifters.
Shoplifting has risen by about 27 per cent in 10 major cities across the UK
this year. The cost of retail crime last year was $2.15 billion. Besides, “We
are seeing organised gangs threatening staff with weapons and emptying
stores," Helen Dickinson, chief executive of the British Retail Consortium,
said. Data shows that the police failed to respond to 73 per cent of serious
retail crimes that included assault and abuse of workers, apart from
shoplifting.

Kamala bopping to rap in pink marks hip-hop anniversary on VP's lawn |
Harris said hip-hop is “the ultimate American art form” that “shapes every
aspect of American popular culture.” “Hip-hop culture is American
culture,” she said in a talk at her official residence at the US Naval
Observatory in Washington, D.C.
The social media had mixed reaction. There was much appreciation that
she dances better than any VP in American history. But some called her
"moves" as “cringe” while others did not like her pink pants - "pink pants
don’t look good.” In fact, her ensembles have always been incongruous.
