It is pertinent to mention here that there is no confirmation yet on whether Karan Bhushan Singh was traveling in the convoy at the time of the accident. As per reports, the car has been seized and the initial investigation has revealed that the SUV with the number UP32HW1800, is registered in the name of Nandini Nagar Educational Institute run by Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh's family.
According to the FIR, the complainant Chanda Begum has said that around 9 am on Wednesday, her 17-year-old son Rehan and 24-year-old nephew Shahzad were out on a bike to buy medicines when the speeding SUV coming from the opposite side hit the two-wheeler. Both died on the spot. A 60-year-old woman, identified as Sita Devi, was injured and has been hospitalised.
