Four killed, two injured in car crash on Sriganganagar highway
Jaipur: Four young men were killed and two others seriously injured after a speeding car crashed into a tree late Sunday night on the Sadulshahar-Hanumangarh state highway in Sriganganagar district.
The victims were cousins.
According to a police officer, the car was speeding when it veered off the road and slammed into a tree nearly 20 km from Sadulpur. Three passengers died on the spot, and the others were rushed to the district hospital in critical condition. One of them later died during treatment.
The police are probing the cause of the accident as different versions have come to fore. Initial findings suggest the group gathered inside the car to record Instagram reels before the accident.
However, the victims, who were cousins, left their homes after telling the family different excuses. One said he was going to get the car fixed, while another said they were going to visit a temple. The family members of one of the victims said they went to fix a marriage arrangement.
The police are investigating some videos posted on social media.
All six youths were said to be on their way to Hanumangarh. The collision left the car mangled beyond recognition.
Locals who witnessed the aftermath rushed to help and called the police.
The victims who died at the scene were identified as Wazir Singh (30), Sukhvinder Singh (21), and Balvinder Singh (18). Kulvinder Singh (23) succumbed to his injuries at the hospital. Surendra Kumar (20) and Gagandeep Singh (20) survived but are in serious condition. Both are college students.
All the youths belonged to villages under Sadulshahar police station. The force of the collision was so great that rescuers had to work for a long time to retrieve the victims. Police handed over the bodies to the family members after a post-mortem examination. Further investigation is on.

"Hate speech of any kind is unacceptable, if anyone engages in it...": TMC's Kunal Ghosh on Sharmishta Panoli case
Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], June 3 (ANI): After the Calcutta High Court rejected the interim bail plea of Social media influencer Sharmishta Panoli, TMC leader Kunal Ghosh on Tuesday asserted that if anyone engages in hate speech of any kind, appropriate legal action must be taken against the individual. Speaking to the media, Ghosh cleared his party's stand. 'This is entirely a legal matter. Our position is very clear -- whether it's on social media or in society at large, hate speech of any kind is unacceptable. If anyone engages in it, appropriate legal action must be taken,' he said. Earlier today, the Calcutta High Court rejected the interim bail plea of social media influencer Sharmistha Panoli. Her lawyer, Md Samimuddin, said that the HC has directed the police to produce the case diary so that the 'bail hearing can be held on June 5.' Speaking to ANI, Samimuddin mentioned that the HC also instructed authorities to ensure proper amenities are provided to her in the correctional home and barred the filing of any fresh FIRs against her. 'The High Court has directed the state to produce the case diary so that the bail hearing can be held on the 5th. It also instructed the state to ensure that basic amenities, which are currently lacking in the correctional home, are provided to her. Furthermore, the court stated that no fresh FIR should be filed for the same cause of action, and we are hopeful of getting bail on the 5th,' he said. A 22-year-old law student from Pune, Sharmistha Panoli, was arrested by Kolkata Police in Gurugram on Friday for allegedly hurting religious sentiments with a video on Operation Sindoor. The Instagram clip was reportedly derogatory towards a particular religion. However, Panoli had deleted the video and issued an apology on May 15. On Saturday, Panoli was produced before the Alipore Court in Kolkata, which remanded her in judicial custody for 14 days. (ANI)
