Three AIIMS doctors died on Sunday and four of the same institute were injured in an accident on the Yamuna Expressway, near here, the police said.

The seven resident doctors in the Emergency Medicine Department of AIIMS were travelling to Agra from Delhi in an SUV to celebrate the birthday of Dr Harshad Wankhade, who was also killed in the accident. The SUV rammed into a Canter around 2.30 am, they said.

While three doctors died on the spot, the four others were rushed to a private hospital here. They were then referred to the AIIMS trauma centre, SP (Rural) Aditya Kumar Shukla said. The deceased have been identified as Dr Yashpreet Kathpal (25), who hailed from Fazilka in Punjab, Dr Himbala (about 25) from Haryana’s Yamunanagar, and Dr Wankhade (35), a native of Akola district in Maharashtra.

According to Shukla, Dr Abhinava Singh (Bihar), Dr Cathreen Halam (Tripura), Dr Mahesh Kumar (Bihar) and Dr Jitendra Maurya (Madhya Pradesh) were later rushed to AIIMS.

Dr Wankhade was a senior resident doctor, while the rest of them were junior resident doctors (non-academic).

According to AIIMS doctors, all four injured are in a stable condition. The Canter driver abandoned his vehicle and fled, the police officer said. — PTI
