Prosecution Alleges Defense Using Delay Tactics in Pune Porsche Crash Trial

Special Public Prosecutor Shishir Hiray told the court that defense demands for repeated chargesheet copies are manufactured to stall the framing of blood-sample swap charges.

Overview

  • On July 2 in Pune Trial Court, the prosecution accused defense counsels for ten accused of filing frivolous applications for full chargesheet copies to prolong proceedings.
  • Prosecutor Hiray concluded the prosecution’s case under CrPC Section 226 on June 27, presenting DNA evidence that allegedly proves the juvenile’s blood sample was swapped with his mother’s.
  • Defence counsel for Dr Ajay Taware argued that forgery sections invoked against him do not apply because he did not personally falsify any hospital documents.
  • Nine of the ten accused—including the minor driver’s parents, Sassoon Hospital staff and middlemen—remain in custody pending the framing of conspiracy and corruption charges.
  • The court will resume the framing-of-charges hearing on July 8, and the Juvenile Justice Board is separately deciding whether to try the 17-year-old driver as an adult.
