Three days after the Vadodara accident that killed one woman and injured others, CCTV footage has emerged showing the moments leading up to the accident. The footage reveals that accused Rakshit Chaurasiya and his friend visited another friend’s residence before the accident and also captured the car involved in the crash.
Chaurasiya, a 20-year-old law student rammed his car into five people, killing a woman and seriously injuring others in Gujarat’s Vadodara.
The CCTV video captures Rakshit Chaurasiya and a friend arriving at a residence on a scooter, where they pause to converse before entering. Notably, Rakshit is seen drinking from a bottle, although the contents remain unidentified.
In another clip, a black sedan can be seen crossing the road in front of the house before parking nearby from the same location. Rakshit’s friend Pranshu, who was in the car during the accident, is seen walking into the house.
Both the friends, Rakshit and Pranshu reportedly spent around 45 minutes there before leaving in the car.
According to the sources of India Today, initially Pranshu took the driver’s seat, but later Rakshit switched places with him and took the wheel, while Pranshu moved to the passenger seat.
The accident occurred around 12:30 am on Friday when a car, driven by Chaurasia, crashed into multiple two-wheelers. Police arrested Chaurasia following the crash. The victim has been identified as Hemali Patel, who was riding her scooter when the speeding car struck her. The four other victims sustained serious injuries and were rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment.
A video recorded by an eyewitness shows Chauhan stepping out of the damaged car and blaming Chaurasia for the accident while Chaurasia appears disoriented and continues shouting, “Another round?" before being confronted and beaten by bystanders.
