Three days after a tragic car crash in Vadodara that killed a woman and injured four others, new CCTV footage has emerged, revealing details about the moments before the accident.
The footage shows 20-year-old law student Rakshit Chaurasia arriving at a friend’s house on a scooter with his friend Pranshu. Reports suggest Rakshit was seen drinking from a bottle, though it is unclear what was inside.
Later, another clip shows the black sedan involved in the accident parking nearby before Pranshu enters the house. After spending about 45 minutes there, the two left, with Rakshit taking the driver’s seat.
The Accident
The crash happened on Friday when the speeding sedan, driven by Rakshit, hit multiple two-wheelers, killing a woman on the spot and seriously injuring four others.
A video from the accident scene shows Rakshit stepping out of the car and shouting, "Another round, another round!", leading to suspicions that he was intoxicated. Locals caught him and handed him over to the police. Both Rakshit and Pranshu were arrested.
Rakshit's Defense
Rakshit, however, denies being drunk. He claims the accident happened because his car hit a pothole, causing the airbags to deploy and block his vision.
"I was driving at only 50 kmph. I did not drink. The accident happened when my car slightly touched a scooty, and the airbag opened suddenly," he told ANI.
Despite his denial, Rakshit admitted his mistake and said he wants to meet the victims' families. "It is my fault, and I will accept whatever decision is made," he added.
