The Pune police have claimed that the blood sample of a 17-year-old teenager involved in a deadly car accident was destroyed and replaced on the orders of a doctor from Sassoon General Hospital.

At a news conference, Police Commissioner Amitesh Kumar stated that the juvenile's father offered Dr Ajay Taware, head of the Forensic Medicine department, inducements to replace his son's blood sample. This came after the teenager's Porsche collided with a motorbike in Kalyani Nagar on May 19, killing two IT professionals, reported PTI.
