It could be a case of drunk driving as eyewitnesses, who caught Rakshit Chaurasia at the scene, told the police that he appeared intoxicated and was screaming “another round, another round” after coming out of the car, the official said.

Later, Rakshit Chaurasia told the media that he was driving the car at a speed of 50 kmph when he lost control of the vehicle due to potholes on the road.

“The car lost control due to the potholes on the road. The car was running at a speed of around 50 kmph. There was a scooty and a car. I was not drunk. I want to meet the family members of the deceased because it was my fault. Whatever they wish should happen,” he told reporters.
