The Pune police have approached a court seeking cancellation of bail granted to the father of the minor accused in the high-profile Porsche crash case, marking a fresh development in the ongoing legal proceedings.
The move comes weeks after a video allegedly showing the accused father celebrating his release on bail with family members went viral on social media, triggering widespread criticism and public outrage. The clip had sparked questions over conduct while the investigation in the fatal accident case continues.
According to officials, the prosecution has filed an application before the court arguing that the circumstances warrant a reconsideration of the bail order. The plea is expected to be taken up for hearing in due course.
The case pertains to a tragic incident involving a Porsche car allegedly driven by a minor, which resulted in the death of two persons in Pune earlier this year. The accident had led to national attention due to allegations of negligence, underage driving and attempts to influence the investigation.
The father of the minor accused has been facing scrutiny for his alleged role in facilitating the vehicle’s use and other related charges being examined by the investigating agency. He was granted bail earlier by the court, subject to certain conditions.

However, the recent viral video allegedly showing celebrations after his release has added a new dimension to the case, with critics arguing that it reflects disregard for the seriousness of the charges and the judicial process.
Police sources said the application for cancellation of bail is based on fresh circumstances, including concerns over compliance with bail conditions and the potential impact on the integrity of the investigation. The prosecution has maintained that continued liberty to the accused could hamper the ongoing probe.
The defence, meanwhile, is expected to contest the plea, arguing that there is no violation of bail conditions and that the viral video does not constitute legal grounds for cancellation.
The court’s decision on the plea is now awaited as the investigation into the Porsche crash continues, with multiple agencies examining aspects ranging from vehicle registration to alleged lapses in enforcement.
The case has remained under intense public and legal scrutiny, with repeated developments keeping it in the spotlight.
