The Juvenile Justice Board (JJB) in Pune has asked a minor driver to work with traffic police for 15 days and write an essay on accident while granting bail to the boy, hours after his Porsche car hit a motorbike killing two people.
According to advocate Prashant Patil, representing the minor, the bail order by JJB has asked his client to work with Yerawada traffic police for 15 days and the accused should write an essay on accident.
The minor should also take treatment from a doctor who will help him quit drinking and seek psychiatric counselling, a report of which must be submitted, said Patil.
Officials said they suspect the minor driver was under the influence of alcohol and to ascertain this, he was sent for medical examination, a report of which was still awaited.
An eyewitness, Amen Sheikh, described the accident and said the Porsche was being driven at a speed between 200-240 km/hour.
