BJP MLC Parinay Fuke has pushed back against claims that his son, Yatharth, was behind the wheel in a tragic car accident near Nagpur on November 7.
The crash left one person dead and five others injured.
Fuke insists Yatharth was actually in a different vehicle and called the allegations unfortunate, objectionable, and part of a deliberate attempt to malign him and his family before any concrete facts emerged from an investigation.
Harshwardhan Sapkal alleges Yatharth was drunk
The allegations surfaced after Maharashtra Congress president Harshwardhan Sapkal accused Yatharth of being drunk during the incident.
Fuke is urging an unbiased investigation and is asking leaders not to use this tragedy for politics, saying he trusts the courts to find out what really happened.
Meanwhile, both families are mourning their loss as those injured continue treatment in Nagpur.
