Siddhesh Agarwal, 25, from Dehradun, was critically injured and remains hospitalized. His iPhone's emergency SOS feature sent a distress signal to the police control room, potentially saving his life.

Siddhesh's father, Vipin Agrawal, has appealed to the public to refrain from spreading rumours and speculation about the students' activities leading up to the accident. "Six families have lost their children; they are overwhelmed with grief. My son is in the ICU. Please have some empathy," he urged.
