The teen accused in the Pune Porsche crash is facing admission issues due to his pending case, as his lawyer cites a denied NOC from the Juvenile Justice Board. The teen’s application for a BBA course was revoked, and additional charges, including forgery and evidence destruction, have been filed against him and his parents.
The lawyer representing the 17-year-old accused in the Pune Porsche crash case revealed that the teenager is facing difficulties securing college admission due to his pending legal case. The boy, who applied for a BBA course at a Delhi-based institute, was unable to join as the institute required a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the Juvenile Justice Board (JJB), which is overseeing his case.
Despite initially filing for the NOC, the defence later withdrew their plea. Special Public Prosecutor Shishir Hiray acknowledged the defence's concerns, stating that education is a constitutional right, and the minor should not be denied admission. However, the boy’s admission was revoked by the institute due to the absence of the NOC.
The teenager’s lawyer further explained that they have decided to explore other options, including seeking admission to a Pune-based college instead. The case stems from a tragic incident in May when the teen, allegedly driving under the influence, crashed his Porsche into two motorbike riders in Pune, resulting in the deaths of two IT engineers.
The Pune police recently filed additional charges against the teen, including accusations of destroying evidence, forgery, and violations under the Prevention of Corruption Act. These new charges come on top of the initial charge of culpable homicide not amounting to murder.

The case has also implicated the boy’s parents and several medical professionals in a scandal involving the swapping of blood samples, reportedly to alter evidence. The chargesheet filed in July implicates seven individuals, including the parents, two doctors, and others accused of arranging bribes to manipulate medical evidence.
