Porsche crash case: Defence challenges blood sample tampering charges, cites lack of evidence

The defence counsel representing the accused in the May 19 Porsche hit-and-run case, that led to the death of two IT professionals, strongly contested the draft charges filed against their clients, asserting that there is no credible evidence linking them to the alleged tampering of blood samples of the minor accused.

Appearing before district judge and additional sessions judge K P Kshirsagar, advocate Shivam Nimbalkar argued that the prosecution has failed to present any material in the charge sheet that indicates his client had knowledge of or played any active role in the alleged manipulation of the minor's blood samples.

"There is no evidence to show that he was involved in labeling, replacing, or facilitating the exchange of blood samples," Nimbalkar stated, emphasising that mere association or presence does not establish culpability under law.
