After celebrating a friend’s selection in the State Reserve Police Force (SRPF), four men died after their car collided with a truck in Maharashtra’s Beed district on early Tuesday morning.

The accident took place at Waghala near Ambajogai, said the police.

Azim Pashamiya Shaikh (30), resident of Karepur village, was recently selected for the SRPF. To celebrate his selection, he visited Manjarsumbha on Monday night accompanied by five of his friends, said an official.

On their way back, the car collided with a truck on the Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar-Latur road.

Balaji Shankar Mane (27), Deepak Dilip Savare (30) and Farukh Babu Miya Shaikh (30) died on the spot, while Hrithik Hanumant Gaikwad (24) succumbed at hospital.

Azim Pashamiya Shaikh and Mubarak Sattar Shaikh (28) sustained serious injuries and are undergoing treatment at Swami Ramanand Tirtha Hospital in Ambajogai.

Police have registered the case as an accident with further probe underway.
