There was definitely something wrong, but they were taken to a hospital 20 km away which had no facilities… My father was declared dead in the hospital, but people there said that death instantly after an accident is very rare… There are many superspeciality hospitals near Dhaula Kuan and AIIMS too, if they had been sent there, he could have been saved”.

When my mother gained consciousness, she was in the passenger seat and looked back to see my father lying down,” he said. (ANI)
