Overview

  • Pune Police Commissioner Amitesh Kumar confirmed the removal of Inspector Rahul Jagdale and Assistant Police Inspector Vishwanath Todkari for dereliction of duty.
  • The state issued the dismissal order in the last week of November, and two constables were reverted to basic pay for five years.
  • An internal inquiry cited failure to alert the control room, lapses in case registration, and delays in collecting the accused teenager’s blood sample.
  • The May 19, 2024 crash in Kalyani Nagar killed IT professionals Aneesh Awadhiya and Ashwini Koshta after a Porsche allegedly driven by a 17-year-old hit their motorcycle.
  • Multiple accused, including the teen’s parents, two Sassoon Hospital doctors, a staffer and middlemen, remain jailed over an alleged blood-sample swap, while the Juvenile Justice Board rejected trying the teen as an adult and he was later released from an observation home.
