The deceased was identified as Manita, who hailed from Latehar district. She, along with her two friends Anita and Saraswati, was on a trip to Himachal Pradesh.

On June 7, she and Saraswati came to Chandimandir from Shimla by bus while Anita chose to stay behind. The two friends got off the bus near the Chandimandir railway station and were crossing the road when a fast-moving car hit Manita and sped away. Saraswati, who was a little ahead of Manita, had a close shave.
