The Porsche car accident in Pune – Horror accident

The registration of the Porsche car that was part of the Pune accident had been pending since March because of the non-payment of a fee worth ₹1,758.

The Porsche car accident in Pune was imported by a dealer in Bengaluru in March before it was sent to Maharashtra on a temporary registration

On May 21, officials from the Maharashtra transport department disclosed that the luxury Porsche car, which was involved in the accident leading to the fatal injuries of two IT professionals in Pune city, had not obtained permanent registration due to the owner’s failure to pay the required ₹1,758 fees. This pending registration has been pending since March.

The high-end electric sports car, Porsche Taycan, was reportedly being operated by the 17-year-old son of a well-known developer, who authorities allege was under the influence during the crash in Kalyani Nagar on May 19 in the early morning hours.

According to Maharashtra Transport Commissioner Vivek Bhimanwar, the Porsche vehicle was brought into the country in March by a dealer based in Bengaluru before being transported to Maharashtra with a temporary registration

The ex-showroom prices of various Porsche cars in India, as mentioned on the company’s website, start at ₹96 lakh and go beyond ₹1.86 crore. While the price of the Porsche Taycan model is not disclosed online, transport department sources hint at a price in crores.

As per the officials’ statement, the Porsche car  accident  at pune found to have a valid temporary registration certificate issued by Karnataka, as indicated in their records. This certificate was valid for a period of six months, commencing in March and concluding in September 2024.

The officials further clarified that the Porsche dealer in Bengaluru should not be held accountable for the situation, as they had duly handed over the car after completing the temporary registration process. Therefore, it was the owner’s responsibility to ensure the vehicle’s registration at the RTO before driving it on public roads. During the temporary registration period, the vehicle is only permitted for transportation to and from the RTO.

According to Mr. Bhimanwar, the teenage boy, who was reportedly driving the car, will not be eligible for a driving license until he reaches the age of 25. Additionally, the luxury car will not be permitted to register at any RTO office for a period of 12 months. This is due to the cancellation of its existing temporary registration, as stated in the Motor Vehicles (MV) Act.

Under the relevant sub-sections of Section 199A (offenses by juveniles) of the MV Act, the transport authorities have the authority to take such actions.

Mr. Bhimanwar emphasized that their department will be taking strict measures in this particular case. The Pune RTO has been instructed to file a police complaint for the violation of provisions in the MV Act. “Any violations related to the Motor Vehicles Act that occurred in this incident will be documented in the FIR,” stated Mr. Bhimanwar. Furthermore, they will also initiate the necessary procedures to cancel the temporary registration of the vehicle in accordance with the provisions outlined in the act.

The transport department’s high-ranking official stated that the vehicle would be seized for a period of 12 months, citing severe negligence in the case where the vehicle was driven at a speed of over 160 kmph, reportedly in an intoxicated state according to media accounts.

The official stated that multiple infractions were committed in this particular case, such as operating the vehicle without a valid driver’s license and registration, among other offenses.

Meanwhile, during a press conference held in Pune this evening, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister and Home Minister Devendra Fadnavis revealed that the car had been bought in Bengaluru and subsequently transported here.

“Based on preliminary information, the RTI conducted an inspection, but the necessary tax payment was not made. If any violations are found in relation to this matter, a separate FIR will be filed,” he explained.
