Two dead, several injured as drunk driver mows down pedestrians in Gujarat’s Gandhinagar



Among the injured was Mayur Joshi, whose father, Rahul Joshi, recounted, “Mayur had just filled petrol and left for work when the car hit from behind. His condition was initially very bad.” As news of the crash spread, Gandhinagar Mayor rushed to the scene and later confirmed, “By the time I arrived, two had died. Two more victims are battling for their lives in the hospital.” Superintendent of Police Ravi Teja said, “Preliminary investigation and eyewitness accounts confirm the driver was under the influence of alcohol. CCTV footage and local statements are being examined.” MoS (Home) Harsh Sanghavi said, “As soon as I received information about the incident, I spoke to the Range IG and Gandhinagar SP. I have directed them to form a joint team for a thorough investigation and take strict action at the earliest.” The police have launched a full-fledged investigation and sealed off the area for forensic examination. The tragedy has sparked fresh outrage over the rising cases of reckless driving in Gujarat’s capital.
