Preliminary Investigation
According to the police’s preliminary investigation, overspeeding appears to have caused the car to veer off the road and fall into the drain, resulting in the death of all occupants inside.
“The first impression was that the car fell into the drain due to overspeeding and all of them had died inside the car. When we took them out of the car, the bodies were shifted to MG Hospital and the relatives were informed. The process of postmortem is underway. Three of these people are from Jaipur and four are from Kekri. They are from the same family and live in Jaipur and Kekri. They had gone to Haridwar as the father of one of the deceased had died a few days ago,” Jaipur South DCP Verma said.
Police said that the bodies of the deceased have been sent for postmortem, and further investigation is underway.
