According one of the survivors, the group of friends was traveling in two cars, a Maruti Suzuki Baleno and a Hyundai Verna.

The Verna car, being driven by Adeep Ansari, was leading the way when its front tyre burst near the Tipra Bypass. The sudden accident caused the driver to lose control and the car first hit the road divider and then collided with a stationary canter parked roadside.

The four occupants—Adhyayan Bansal, Adeep Ashraf Ansari, Chirag Malik and Vaibhav Yadav—were critically injured and lost consciousness on the spot. The Baleno, which was following behind, stopped immediately, and the other members of the group rushed to the victim’s aid.

With the assistance of bystanders, the injured victims were pulled out of the car and rushed to the Government Hospital, Sector 6, in a government ambulance.

However, doctors at the hospital declared all four victims dead on arrival. The survivor, who gave his statement to the police, alleged that the accident could have been avoided if the canter had not been wrongly parked on the roadside.

The police were informed about the accident and reached the spot for investigation. Videography and photography of the scene were conducted.

The canter’s registration number was noted, and based on preliminary findings, a case under Sections 106, 285, and 324(4) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) was registered at the Pinjore police station. Further investigation in the incident is underway.
