The crash caused by a minor has sparked outrage due to the legal drinking age in Maharashtra being 25. The establishment that served him is now facing charges for breaking the law. Despite this, the Juvenile Justice Board granted the minor bail just 15 hours after detention, leading to criticism of their leniency. The board imposed conditions of counselling, a de-addiction program, and a 300-word essay on road safety. Pune police have filed an application to try the juvenile as an adult, stating that the severity of the accident warrants harsher scrutiny. The police have also taken legal action against the pub that served the minor. Commissioner Kumar confirmed that yesterday's incident was taken seriously and action was taken under section 304 of IPC as it was a heinous crime.
