Speeding Thar Collides with Car in Gurugram, Four Family Members Critically InjuredPreviousNext

Early Friday morning near Sohna Chowk in Gurugram, a speeding black Thar collided with a white Baleno carrying four family members, critically injuring them. The impact severely damaged the Baleno and caused the Thar to overturn. Two occupants of the Thar fled, while one was apprehended and taken into police custody. The injured, including Meenakshi Chadha and her children, were hospitalized with serious injuries. Police have registered a case, seized both vehicles, and are investigating whether the Thar driver was under the influence of alcohol.
