Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar has disclosed that the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) MLA Sunil Tingre was questioned by police for three to four hours after the fatal Porsche car crash involving a minor in May in Pune, but asserted his party colleague had no role in the post-accident happenings, reported the PTI.

Sunil Tingre, the MLA from Vadgaon Sheri in Pune city of Maharashtra, faced criticism for allegedly trying to influence investigation into the accident and save the minor driver, particularly since he visited the Yerwada police station, which was handling the matter, after the crash on May 19.
