Raksha Bandhan turned into a nightmare for a family in Faridabad, where a joyous reunion between four siblings ended in tragedy within hours.
With Saroj’s death, the accident has now claimed the lives of three members of the same family. A local resident who rushed to the spot after hearing a loud crash described a horrific scene. The two brothers had already died, while one of the sisters was critically injured. The police are now searching for the driver and investigating the circumstances leading to the crash. He claimed that he himself had narrowly escaped being hit by a speeding vehicle at the same location in the past. For this family, Raksha Bandhan was supposed to be a celebration of the bond between brothers and sisters. Instead, a festival meant to bring siblings together has left a family grieving the loss of three loved ones. What began with Rakhi being tied on brothers wrists ended with three members of the family being taken away forever, leaving one sister fighting for her life in a hospital.
Police have registered a case under BNS sections 281, 125A and 106(1), relating to rash driving, causing injury and death through negligence.
He said that when he came out, he saw all four siblings lying injured on the road. A nearby dhaba owner, who reached the spot after hearing the sound of the collision, said speeding has been a persistent problem in the area.
