The father-son team, who are suspected of causing a vehicle accident that left nine people dead on Ahmedabad’s ISCKON bridge, was apprehended by Gujarat police on Thursday and escorted to the scene of the disaster. One of the suspects, Tathya Patel, was operating the Jaguar that struck a crowd of onlookers gathered near the scene of the accident on the bridge. His father, Prajnesh Patel, was also detained by the police in relation to the event.
A Jaguar traveling at a high rate of speed collided with a crowd of individuals gathering at the scene of the accident on the ISCKON Bridge at around 1:15 in the am on Thursday. A police policeman was one among those killed in this tragedy. According to reports, the automobile was traveling at a speed of 160 km/h. Tathya, who was operating the Jaguar at the time of the collision, was severely beaten by the enraged onlookers.
The state’s chief minister, Bhupendra Patel, issued a financial aid package worth Rs 4 lakh for the surviving family members. Also promised was a payment of Rs 50,000 for those hurt.
Nine individuals died in the accident and 13 were wounded, according to the information we obtained from the Ahmedabad city police. Youths from Surendranagar and Botad were reportedly among the deceased, according to the local media.
A witness to the terrible collision remembered it and said that the automobile was traveling at a “extremely high speed.” Altamash Quereshi, who is receiving treatment at the Sola Civil Hospital, reportedly told PTI that he and his companions gathered at the area on the bridge where an accident involving a Thar (SUV) had occurred. He said, “All of a sudden, a vehicle slammed into us from behind. The automobile was moving at a tremendous rate of speed. It rammed head-on into the throng.
A Thar and a dumper accident had occurred at the same location only a few minutes before to the Jaguar disaster, which caused a mob to congregate there.
