In an accident, a man was charred to death inside a Honda City car and another was seriously injured after the driver of the car lost control. The vehicle first rammed into the divider and then overturned.
The incident took place on the Gurugram-Jhajjar State highway near Farrukhnagar at around 6 pm on Thursday. The victim has been identified as Niranjan Lamba and was admitted to a private hospital while his accomplice is yet to be identified.
Police said that the deadly episode culminated so quickly that before the police and fire department could reach for the rescue operation one of the victims was fully burnt along with the car.
“The body has been sent for postmortem examination. The reason behind the accident is yet to be ascertained. One of the victim failed to come out of the car,” Subhash Boken, the Gurugram Police spokesperson said.
“The speeding car was coming from Farrukhnagar and rammed into the divider and overturned. Soon after the accident, the fire spread all over the car but we managed to save one of the victim but his partner was burnt alive. The spare wheel of the car was thrown to some 60 meters away from the accident spot, said Vivek an eyewitness.
“The body has been sent for the autopsy. Further probe into the matter is underway. The statement of the victim yet to be recorded,” Boken said.
