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.
