Speaking with India Today TV, Vipin Agarwal, Siddhesh’s father, appealed to the public to reject any misinformation surrounding the accident.
The father, appealing for empathy and compassion, shared, “We are dealing with the immense grief of losing six children. The families of these children are in such profound agony that it feels insurmountable. Currently, one child is in the ICU, relying on a ventilator for survival.
He reassured that the ongoing investigation will unveil the truth and urged not to lend credence to the circulating rumors.
No medical report or autopsy has confirmed alcohol consumption yet.
Rumours surrounding Dehradun car accident
A social media claim suggests that the victims, who died in a crash involving a container, were drinking and celebrating before the incident. A video showing a celebration has circulated, but authorities have not confirmed if the individuals in the video are the victims.
HT.com also could not independently verify the authenticity of the video.
Allegedly, the BMW overtook the victims’ car, causing the driver to feel challenged and drive recklessly. Nonetheless, law enforcement debunked this assertion by reviewing CCTV footage capturing the teenagers’ journey.
According to the CCTV camera, the Innova MUV only reached dangerous speed levels minutes before the accident.
A different speculation circulated suggesting that the individuals might have been protruding from the window or the sunroof as the vehicle raced, resulting in two of them being decapitated. Nevertheless, this claim remains unverified.
