Pune, Oct. 9 -- Recalling the high-profile Porsche accident that rattled the city last year, Police Commissioner Amitesh Kumar on Wednesday said the case had not only exposed individual recklessness but also brought to light entrenched systemic corruption. Addressing students at an awareness programme organised by Modern College of Arts, Science and Commerce under the Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyan, Amitesh Kumar said, "The Porsche case took place last year - everyone knows about it. There was widespread criticism: people said Pune's culture was damaged, that the police and society were corrupt. But amidst all this, one positive outcome was that the layers of corruption within the system were revealed." He cited the case as a reminder of how one act of irresponsibility can devastate multiple lives. "The accused was just 17 years old. Because of his age, he is not in jail, but his mother spent 14 months in Yerwada Jail for his mistake. His father is still behind bars after 17-18 months. Over 10 doctors from Sassoon Hospital are in jail because the blood sample was tampered with. One mistake destroyed an entire family," Kumar said, adding that police will ensure everyone involved in case is punished. Kumar, who was the chief guest at the Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyan Special Awareness Programme organised by the Progressive Education Society's Modern College, commended principal Nivedita Ekbote and the college management for promoting de-addiction awareness among youth. He said police were also working toward the welfare of young people. "The Central Government's 'Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyan' is an excellent initiative. Pune is called Oxford of the East, yet in recent times we have seen some disturbing incidents," he said, referring to a recent freshers' party where underage students were caught consuming alcohol. "During that event, around 1,800 students participated. When the police took action, some parents complained their children were expelled," he said. Kumar urged students to pledge to stay away from drugs and alcohol and to ensure their peers do the same. He also directed them to report tobacco shops operating within 100 yards of colleges. "If you find any such shop, inform us. You can even come to the Commissioner's Office and protest to shut them down. If youth groups work with us, not even a gram of MD will circulate in Pune," he said. Speaking on social media use, he said, "Social media has become very toxic - almost 80% of online comments are negative. Everyone should practice self-reflection. When I see negative remarks under positive posts, I feel like holding a parade for such people! You must limit screen time and set personal boundaries." He cautioned students, especially girls, against sharing personal photos or chats online. "Boys must remember that respecting a girl's dignity should be their priority, even online." PES Joint Secretary Jyotsna Ekbote said the younger generation represents India's future. "Our institutions have always aimed to nurture responsible youth who can take the nation forward. Staying free from addiction is key to building a developed India," she said....
