Two officials attached to the Yerawada police station in Pune were suspended on Friday for alleged dereliction of duty in connection with an accident involving a 17-year-old juvenile whose Porsche knocked down and killed two persons in the early hours of May 19.

Inspector Rahul Jagdale and assistant police inspector Vishwanath Todkari were suspended for "late reporting" and "dereliction of duty", said additional commissioner of police Manoj Patil.

The accident case was registered at the Yerwada police station following the car crash in Kalyani Nagar area of the city.

Pune police commissioner Amitesh Kumar had said earlier in the day that internal inquiry pointed to lapses on the part of police officials while registering the case.

He admitted that there was a delay in collecting the blood samples of the juvenile who had allegedly consumed alcohol at two pubs before the accident.

While the accident took place around 3 am on Sunday, the blood samples were collected at 11 pm, the commissioner said. -- PTI
