Police said Sachin, who was driving a Maruti Suzuki Swift, is in critical condition and on ventilator support at a private hospital in Sector 38.

He was on ventilator support,' said Sandeep Kumar, public relations officer (PRO) of Gurugram police. According to investigators, Sachin had gone to Faridabad on Sunday to drop his sister at her in-laws' house after she visited her parental home for Raksha Bandhan. Vikas had accompanied him. The duo were returning late Monday night when one of the tyres of their car exploded, causing the vehicle to veer violently off course.

Commuters alerted the police control room, and two emergency response vehicles reached the spot. Both victims were rushed to Sector 10A civil hospital without waiting for ambulances due to their critical condition. Doctors declared Vikas dead on arrival and referred Sachin to a higher centre for advanced treatment. The PRO said no foul play was suspected by the families. An inquiry under Section 194 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) was initiated based on the statement of Vikas's family at Bilaspur police station. His body was handed over to the family after an autopsy on Tuesday.

India's Only Honda Accord Convertible Is A Head-Turner Born In Jaipur: Video
Owning a convertible car is a dream of every car enthusiast. A convertible car not only gives an open-air vibe but also defines the class and free spirit of the owner. However, due to its high price, it fails to become a middle-class asset. However, we came across a video that shows a Honda Accord transformed into a convertible car, giving the car a luxury modification. The video has been shared by the Jaipur Jeep Lovers official YouTube channel. As the video starts, the channel's host, Prateek Nagpal, mentions that they have recently completed their project of converting the Honda Accord into a convertible version. Starting from the front, the modified Accord carries a blacked-out grille at the front with a Brabus logo in the centre and has a body kit as well. On the rear end, the Honda Accord convertible gets a new bumper design. Also, explaining further, Prateek mentions that they have fixed two exhaust ports on the rear; meanwhile, only one of them is functional. The unique convertible borrows its chrome-finished ORVMs from the Maruti Suzuki Swift, because the Accord's ORVMs are quite expensive. On the inside, the Honda Accord convertible flaunts red colored ambient lighting tan colored leatherette upholstery. Modified Honda Accord Talking about the specs, the host mentions that the convertible modifications host the same engine offered by the Honda Accord, which is a 2350cc petrol engine. The engine has not been tweaked, but the catalytic converter has been benched for a performance boost, and it delivers about 178 bhp and 222 Nm. Later in the video, we see the host rolling out his Honda Accord convertible project on the road for some crazy public reactions. Meanwhile, as it turned dark, Prateek also gave us a glimpse of the ambient lighting of the car that gives it a premium look on the inside.

Maruti Suzuki Swift vs Dzire: Mileage, Handling and Driving Comfort Compared
If you're confused between the Maruti Suzuki Swift and the Dzire, you're definitely not the only one. These two cars may come from the same family, but they serve different personalities. One's zippy and compact, while the other leans more towards elegance and space. Both share similar features under the hood, but they move to a different rhythm once you're behind the wheel. So which one fits your life better? Read on to know more. Mileage: Small Numbers, Big Savings When it comes to fuel efficiency, both the Swift and Dzire deliver significant numbers. On paper, the difference feels almost invisible, especially in petrol variants. You'll rarely notice any variation at the fuel pump during everyday use. However, if you're someone who prefers CNG for its cost-effectiveness, the Dzire does take a slight lead. While the Maruti Suzuki Swift performs impressively across all options, the Dzire squeezes out slightly better numbers, which add up over time, especially for high-mileage users. Here's how things look when you break it down: ● Petrol manual: Swift gives 24.8 km/l, Dzire is at 24.79 km/l - practically the same ● Petrol AMT: Swift gets 25.75 km/l, Dzire is just behind at 25.71 km/l ● CNG variant: Swift offers 32.85 km/kg, Dzire edges ahead with 33.73 km/kg Over long distances, that slight advantage in Dzire's CNG can help reduce running costs For most buyers, both cars will feel equally efficient in petrol, but CNG users might appreciate Dzire's slight edge. Handling: One's Sharp, the Other's Smooth Now let's talk about how these cars feel when you're actually driving. The Maruti Swift is light and easy to drive. It swerves well even in dense traffic. If you like to assume control of the wheel, you will likely appreciate how responsive the wheel is. It travels faster since it is smaller, and one can zip across lanes that are congested with other cars. Parking is also very easy. It has this sense of energy to it, and that is one thing you will feel as soon as you press the pedal. The Maruti Suzuki Dzire, on the other hand, is different. It is a car that does not hurry around but flows. The suspension is set up to absorb bumps, and the longer wheelbase makes the car feel more planted on the highway. It lacks the swiftness of the Swift to amble through corners and has a smooth and stable ride, particularly when the backseat is full of passengers. The Swift is your friend in case you are a solo driver who loves being connected to the road. When your trip is usually accompanied by household members and their luggage, the Dzire adds tranquility to the travel.
