The drunk Pune teen who killed two people – while driving his father’s ₹ 2.5 crore Porsche supercar – caused the accident but was probably also in “shock” and it is natural, therefore, to assume his mental faculties would have been adversely affected, the Bombay High Court said Friday.
The court was hearing a plea by the boy’s aunt seeking his immediate release on grounds his arrest – hours after a high-speed collision with a motorbike carrying two people – was “arbitrary and illegal”.
