The tragic accident resulted in the death of the motorcyclist and his daughter while five other people sustained injuries.

The court questioned the accused about her treatment in police custody, to which she responded that no mistreatment had occurred. Following the brief proceedings, the court sent the accused to jail on judicial remand and instructed the investigation officer to submit the charge sheet at the next hearing.

The motorcyclist and his daughter were killed instantly while the injured victims were rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment.
The court has put off further hearing of the case until the investigation is complete and challan is submitted before it.
