Pune, Dec 10: Two cops who were suspended for alleged negligence in the investigation into last year’s Porsche car crash have been dismissed from service, a top police official said on Wednesday.
A Porsche car, allegedly driven by a 17-year-old boy in an inebriated condition, had fatally run over two techies on a motorcycle in Pune's Kalyani Nagar area in the early hours of May 19, 2024.
Yerawada Police Officers Removed After Inquiry
“Inspector Rahul Jagdale and assistant police inspector (API) Vishwanath Todkari, attached to Yerawada police station, who were already in suspension for late reporting and dereliction of duty in the accident case, have been dismissed from service,” said Pune Police Commissioner Amitesh Kumar.
A proposal to sack them had been sent to the home department in March 2025.
Delayed Blood Collection & Tampering Allegations
An internal inquiry also pointed to lapses while registering the case and a delay in collecting blood samples, the official said. According to police, the boy’s blood samples were collected at 11 am, several hours after the accident.
The teenager’s blood samples were also allegedly replaced with his mother’s.
Status of Accused in the Case
The juvenile involved in the case has since been released from an observation home, while his mother is currently out on bail.
