3 childhood friends die in high-speed SUV crash on Bhopal-Indore highway
The collision was so severe that the car nearly split in two. Three of the occupants - Pankaj Sisodia, 25, Preet Ahuja, 27, and Vishal Dabi, 25 - died on the spot, Khajuri SHO Neeraj Verma said. All of them were from Aara Machine Road in Bairagarh.
The lone survivor, Rahul alias Kunal Kanade, 27, is in hospital where doctors have managed to stabilise his vital parameters, say officials.
The SUV - which is now a mangled heap of metal - belongs to Preet's brother Kamlesh, who owns a garments shop in Bairagarh.
Preet had taken the SUV without his brother's knowledge for a joy ride with his friends, say police.
2 labourers narrowly escape crash
They drove to a dhaba in Sehore for dinner and were on their way back when the accident happened near a petrol pump, around 50km short of Bhopal. CCTV footage from a restaurant shows the SUV over-speeding and slamming headlong into a kiosk, then a tree and the pole around 2am.
Police officials said two labourers were sleeping beside the kiosk and narrowly escaped the accident. There was no other vehicle or any stray animal seen during the accident, which suggests that the SUV driver lost control due to high speed, said an officer.
Preet was driving the car. It was tough to extricate the bodies from the mangled and twisted metal.

Man murdered, stuffed in adrum in Khairthal-Tijara dist
1 2 Alwar: In a chilling reminder of the infamous Meerut murder case, body of a married man aged around 35 was found stuffed in a 'blue drum' on the rooftop of his rented accommodation in Kishangarh Bas town of Khairthal-Tijara district, Sunday. The murdered man's wife, the couple's three children and the landlord's son have been missing since Saturday, police said. The gruesome discovery was made by the landlord's wife, Mithlesh, who was alerted by a foul odour emanating from the drum. The body, identified as that of Hansraj, aka Suraj, was covered in salt, allegedly to accelerate decomposition. Hansraj, originally from Khandepur village in Shahjahanpur district of Uttar Pradesh, had been residing in the rented accommodation at Adarsh Colony for approximately six weeks and was employed at a local brick kiln. The discovery sent shockwaves through the colony, as the case bears a striking resemblance to a previous incident in Meerut, UP, where a similar method was used to conceal the murder of a Merchant Navy officer, allegedly by his wife in Feb this year. Khairthal-Tijara SP Manish Chaudhary said, "Hansraj was murdered and his body was placed in the drum with salt. This was a premeditated murder. The deceased's wife and other individuals are being sought. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo The case will be solved soon." Police have launched a full-scale investigation following the discovery. Kishangarh Bas DySP Rajendra Singh Nirwan, along with station officer Jitendra Singh Shekhawat and assistant SI Gyanchand, reached the crime scene to conduct a thorough inspection. The deceased's family in UP has been notified and the body has been transferred to the govt hospital mortuary in Kishangarh Bas. The investigation took a complex turn after Hansraj's wife, Sunita, and their three children — Harshal, Nandini, and Golu — were found missing. Additionally, landlord Rajesh's son, Jitendra, who had rented the room to Hansraj, is also missing. Jitendra, whose wife passed away 12 years ago, was known to frequently drink with Hansraj, police said. The landlord's wife said she found Sunita and her children missing when she returned from Janmashtami celebrations on Saturday. Jitendra also failed to return home that evening. The following morning, the odour led her to inspect the drum on the rooftop and to call the police control room. Dy SP Nirwan confirmed that Hansraj's throat had been slit with a sharp weapon, indicating foul play. Police are pursuing leads to uncover the motive behind the murder and locate the missing family members. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).
