Car Flipped Five Times In Bihar's Rohtas

Similarly, on May 25, four passengers walked away unscathed after their car flipped five times in a freak accident on a highway in Bihar's Rohtas district on Sunday morning.

The entire incident was captured on CCTV, providing a dramatic view of the crash. "The Maruti Suzuki Alto first collided with a speeding truck and then rolled over to the side of the road," the footage revealed.

In a separate incident in March, a Delhi University student was hit and killed by a speeding car while delivering newspapers in Rohini early in the morning.

Following the investigation, two individuals, 26-year-old Saurabh Gupta and his 41-year-old uncle Pankaj Gupta, were arrested. Authorities allege the pair tried to cover up their involvement by getting the car repaired in Panipat. CCTV footage proved instrumental in tracking and identifying the suspects, according to the police.

The victim, Rishal Singh, was a Budh Vihar resident pursuing a Bachelor of Arts degree through Delhi University’s School of Open Learning. He worked as a newspaper vendor, earning around Rs 12,000 a month to support his family and fund his education.
