Eyewitness Alleges Police Negligence

"It happened around 12:50 PM. There was no one there, no administration officials. We dialled 100 at 12:55 PM. Two policemen came, they saw the dead body and left after seeing it. If they wanted, they could have helped. There was a gas leak, so they said to move away. We could have also helped. There were 50 per cent chance he could have survived. But they did not help. I think the driver was drunk. Speed, I think, was 100 kmph," Shayan alleged.

Emergency Response and Investigation

However, an ambulance was rushed to the accident spot, and a few police personnel were also present later on, diverting the incoming traffic. Further details are awaited. The police are yet to confirm the details of the accident. (ANI)
