Nagpur News.
As the four friends went to dine and drink at the city outskirts on Wednesday night, never in the wildest of their dreams had they thought that this would end up in deadly supper. As they returned after celebrating party at a dhaba on Amravati road, two of their mates died in the tragic car crash that left the vehicle in scatters and blood-stained as it hit a tree near the square close to university campus here.
Sources said the students raced up the vehicle to check its high speed, which proved fatal for them. One of the surviving students, who drove the car, had the narrow escape as the security airbag proved to be the savior.
The deceased Anurag Anil Khaparde, 22 was studying in YCCE and his friend Ishita Mohan Malay, 21 was a student of Vincent Palloti College of Engineering. Both died on the spot while two others were injured. Anurag was cremated at 3 pm on Thursday.
