PUNE: The panel probing the conduct of two
Juvenile Justice Board
(JJB) members in connection with the bail given to the
minor accused
in the
Pune Porsche crash
case has recommended
disciplinary action
against them for "
procedural lapses
", an official said Wednesday.
On May 19, two IT professionals were killed after their motorcycle was hit by a speeding Porsche car allegedly driven by the minor in an inebriated condition.
The case caused a national uproar after JJB member L N Danwade granted bail to the accused on very lenient terms, including writing a 300-word essay on road safety.
Later, a committee was formed by WCD department of Maharashtra govt to probe the conduct of two JJB members in connection with the bail given to the minor accused. In its report, the panel talked about the "procedural lapses", "misconduct" and "non-compliance of norms" of the JJB members.
As part of its probe, the committee recorded the statement of the two JJB members. "In its report, it recommended action against the two JJB members for the procedural lapses. Based on the report, they (JJB members) were issued a show cause notice which sought their replies. But as their replies were not satisfactory, we wrote to the state govt and proposed a disciplinary action against both members," a WCD official requesting anonymity said.
Earlier this month, the 17-year-old minor accused submitted a 300-word essay on road safety complying with
bail conditions
of the JJB.
