Due to heavy fog, the driver lost control of the vehicle, causing the car to skid off the road and plunge into a canal. Both occupants died on the spot.
Jas Karan Singh was originally a resident of Mansa district. On receiving information, police and administrative officials reached the spot, recovered the bodies, and initiated further proceedings.
