Initially, two victims reportedly succumbed to their injuries soon after being rushed to the hospital. A third victim died on Tuesday morning, raising the death toll to three. The deceased have been reportedly identified as Mamta Kanwar (50), Awadhesh Pareek (37), and Virendra Singh.
Before the fatal crash, the car had already hit several vehicles, and the driver fled the scene, causing additional accidents at three separate spots. Eventually, enraged locals managed to stop the vehicle, pulled Usman from the car, and beat him up before handing him over to the police.
Police reportedly confirmed the driver was intoxicated at the time of the incident and said investigations are ongoing.
