Two Years After Pune Porsche Crash, Families Await Justice Amid Legal Delays

Two years after a Porsche driven by a drunk minor hit a motorbike in Pune, killing Ashwini Koshta and Aneesh Awadhiya, their families continue to seek justice amid delays. The accused and his family have been granted bail, including the minor's father and mother, who faced charges of evidence tampering. Both families express grief and frustration over the slow legal process and question the involvement of a former MLA who allegedly intervened early in the case. The Supreme Court has urged expedited proceedings, but the trial has yet to begin.
