A video showing real estate developer Vishal Agarwal and his wife dancing with massive currency garlands has gone viral on social media.
Fresh public outrage has erupted over the infamous May 2024 Pune Porsche car accident case after a controversial video surfaced on social media, allegedly showing the prime accused and builder Vishal Agarwal celebrating with his family.
Vishal Agarwal, who spent 22 months in custody for his role in the cover-up of the fatal crash caused by his underage son, is seen alongside his family hosting a high-profile celebratory gathering. The visuals show Agarwal and his wife dancing to the classic Bollywood song, “Mumbai Se Aaya Mera Dost, Dosto Salaam Karo". Both are seen wearing massive garlands made entirely of high-denomination currency notes, an act that netizens have heavily criticised as a display of wealth and unvarnished arrogance.
Lawyers Deny Video
In an exclusive conversation with News18, the family’s lawyers shared a statement denying that the viral video was recent in origin. “This video is from 2023, from their silver wedding anniversary. This is not a recent video at all. People have been giving false information. There has been no party," shared the lawyers. “There are family members in the video who had gone for the celebration. There has been no new celebration."
Pune Tragedy That Sparked Nationwide Fury
The Pune Porsche crash case sparked nationwide attention after a luxury Porsche allegedly driven by a minor under the influence of alcohol hit and killed two software engineers, Anish Awadhiya and Ashwini Costa, in Pune’s Kalyani Nagar area on May 19, 2024.
The case drew public outrage after the Juvenile Justice Board initially granted the teenager bail within hours of the incident with conditions including writing an essay on road safety. Following criticism, the minor was later sent to an observation home while investigations expanded into alleged evidence tampering and procedural lapses.
