Pune Porsche Crash Case: High Court Rejects Bail for Juvenile’s Father, Suspended Sassoon Doctors and Other Accused

In the Pune Porsche crash case, the Bombay High Court rejected bail pleas of the Juvenile’s father, suspended Sassoon Hospital doctors and other accused, citing serious allegations of evidence tampering.

Pune |17 December 2025: The Bombay High Court has rejected the bail applications of the father of the minor accused in the Pune Porsche accident case, two suspended doctors from Sassoon General Hospital and several other co-accused allegedly involved in tampering with blood samples to shield the teenage driver.

In a major development, Pune Police Commissioner Amitesh Kumar has ensured a strong and foolproof investigation in the case, making it legally water-tight. It is interesting to note that this is one of the peculiar cases in recent years where the accused have not been granted bail even after 1.5 years.

The decision came after detailed arguments spanning six days before a bench headed by Justice Shyam Chandak, with the court stating that a detailed order will be uploaded separately.

Special Public Prosecutor Shishir Hiray informed the court that the case involved grave allegations of a well-planned conspiracy to interfere with the course of justice. Among those denied bail were the minor’s father, a prominent builder, former Sassoon Hospital forensic department head Dr Ajay Taware and then medical officer Dr Shrihari Halnor, both of whom have been placed under suspension following the incident.

The court also rejected bail pleas of alleged intermediaries Ashpak Makandar and Amar Gaikwad, who are accused of facilitating monetary transactions for arranging substitute blood samples. Bail was further denied to the fathers of two other minors who were present in the car at the time of the accident and to a friend accused of providing his blood sample in place of one of the minors.

The case relates to a fatal road accident that occurred in May last year in Pune’s Kalyani Nagar area, where a high-end Porsche Taycan allegedly driven by a minor rammed into a two-wheeler around 2.30 am, killing two young software engineers. Investigators claim the accused minor had attended a late-night party before the crash and was under the influence of alcohol.According to the prosecution, a deliberate attempt was made to conceal evidence by replacing the minor’s blood sample with that of his mother, while blood samples of the other minors were allegedly substituted with samples from unrelated adults in exchange for money. The prosecution argued that such acts amounted to fraud on the court and serious obstruction of justice, warranting continued custody of the accused.

The state further submitted that several accused persons are financially influential and could potentially influence witnesses if released on bail. Of the nine accused named in the case, one Sassoon Hospital mortuary staff member did not seek bail, while the minor’s mother, accused of providing her blood sample, had earlier been granted bail by the Supreme Court.

The High Court’s decision is being viewed as a significant development in the case, which has drawn widespread public attention and raised larger questions about privilege, accountability and the integrity of medico-legal procedures in high-profile cases.
