Second victim in Noida BMW crash dies; accused granted bail
An 18-year-old man who was critically injured in an accident involving a speeding BMW, reportedly being driven by a drunk man, and a scooter in Noida's Sector 30 early Sunday succumbed to his injuries after nearly a day of treatment at a Ghaziabad hospital, police and family members said. Raja, the 18-year-old deceased. (HT Photos) Raja, a resident of Sadarpur in Sector 45, was returning home with his brother-in-law Gul Mohammad and five-year-old niece Ayat Khatun after visiting a doctor at the Post Graduate Institute of Child Health (Child PGI), when their Honda Activa was hit head-on by a BMW around 12.20am on Sunday. The impact of the collision dragged the scooter nearly 200 metres, police and eyewitnesses said, adding that Gul Mohammad had exited from Gate No. 3 and was riding on the wrong side to take a nearby U-turn when the crash occurred. Ayat died on the spot, while Gul Mohammed and Raja were rushed to separate hospitals with serious injuries. Raja sustained multiple fractures in his legs, hands and head, and remained unconscious until he died late Sunday night. 'Doctors told us he fractured his skull and had internal bleeding in the brain. He never regained consciousness,' said his brother Mohammad Masoon Ali. Ali added, 'We shifted Gul Mohammed to a private hospital in Sector 39 on Monday and have spent ₹3.5 lakh on his treatment so far, without any financial assistance. Now we've been told the accused have already secured bail.' The BMW, being driven by Yash Sharma (23), a BBA graduate from Sector 37, had fled the spot after the collision, leaving the injured people behind. Police said Sharma and his co-passenger Abhishek Rawat (22), an MBA student from Sector 70, were found to be in an inebriated state when tracked down. They were both arrested on Sunday and granted bail by a Surajpur court on Monday. 'There is no separate section under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) for drunk driving; it is addressed under the Motor Vehicle Act,' said Additional DCP Noida, Sumit Shukla. The FIR filed at Sector 20 police station includes BNS sections 281 (rash driving), 125 (act endangering life), and 106(1) (causing death by negligence). When asked why the co-passenger was arrested, Shukla said Rawat also fled the scene and was intoxicated, which contributed to the police action. 'Medical reports confirmed both were under the influence of alcohol,' he said, adding that in the charge-sheet, sections related to their individual roles would be separated. The BMW involved in the accident belongs to Sharma's associate, Gagandeep Singh. Sharma had reportedly taken the vehicle four days earlier with the intention of selling it. On the night of the incident, he had consumed alcohol with friends in Sector 37 before heading towards the Elevated Road, police said. Police said investigations are ongoing and the chargesheet will include all relevant findings, including the role of both accused and the outcome of the forensic and medical reports.

The deceased, identified by police as Ayat Khatun (5), was returning from the Post Graduate Institute of Child Health with her father.(Sunil Ghosh / Hindustan Times) Police and eyewitnesses said that the scooter was travelling on the wrong side of the road, while the BMW was speeding. A preliminary investigation suggested both suspects, the driver of the car Yash Sharma, 22, a BBA graduate from Noida Sector 37, and co-passenger Abhishek Rawat, 22, an MBA student from Sector 70, had consumed alcohol prior to the accident. The collision's impact caused the scooter to skid for around 200 metres, even as none of the victims wore helmets at the time, police added. The deceased, identified by police as Ayat Khatun, was returning from the Post Graduate Institute of Child Health with her father, Gul Mohammad, 37, and uncle Raja, 18, — all residents of Sector 45 in Noida — after seeking medical care for Ayat's ear pain. A little after 12am, as their scooter exited the hospital, it was struck head-on by a Haryana-registered BMW, allegedly driven by Sharma, police said. 'Sharma recently started dealing in the sales and purchase of vehicles with his associate Gagandeep Singh, who owns the BMW. Sharma took the keys of the BMW around four days ago to sell the Haryana-registered 2016 model car,' said Noida assistant commissioner of police Praveen Singh. Rahul Kumar, who runs a tea stall outside the hospital, said that the victims exited the hospital on the scooter. 'They rode on the wrong side to approach a nearby U-turn which was 200 metres away. The speeding car was approaching from Sector 37 and hit the scooter from the front,' said Kumar, an eyewitness. Police received an emergency call at 12.15am and a Police Response Vehicle (PRV) reached the spot. The injured were rushed to a private hospital in Sector 27, but the child was declared dead on arrival. Mohammad, who sustained a severe facial injury, was riding the scooter, while Raja, who sustained multiple fractures on his leg, hand, and head, was riding pillion. The child was sitting between them, police said. An officer involved in the investigation said that Sharma and Rawat consumed alcohol at Sharma's home on Saturday night. 'They were on a joyride and were headed towards the elevated road,' the officer said, asking not to be named. 'Following the accident, they fled the spot and returned to Sharma's house and informed Gagandeep Singh about the accident, who had also been contacted by police,' the officer added. Sharma and Rawat then parted ways, police said. The number plate of the car had broken and fallen on the road, which helped police trace the owner. A second officer aware of the matter said that Singh was told by police to get in touch with the two suspects and bring them to Noida Sector 20 to 'settle the matter'. 'When Sharma and Rawat arrived, they were arrested around 4am,' the officer said, also asking not to be named. Mohammad's second brother-in-law, Mohammad Masoom Ali, said the victims had left home around 11pm for the hospital as Ayat was complaining of ear pain. 'Around an hour-and-a-half later, we received a call from police who told us that my brother-in-law had met with an accident and was admitted to a hospital in Sector 27. We were told that Ayat had died,' Ali told HT. On the complaint of Gul Mohammad's brother, Peer Mohammad Ansari, A case under sections 281 (rash driving), 125 (act endangering life), and 106(1) (causing death by negligence) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita was registered at Sector 20 police station. Ayat lived with her parents and two siblings in the Sadarpur area of Sector 45. The family is originally from Sitamarhi in Bihar. Police said the car was seized and medical reports confirmed that the suspects were inebriated when the accident took place.
