WATCH | Drunk law student screams ‘another round’ after he kills woman, injures 4 ramming car into two-wheelers in Gujarat

A 20-year-old law student, who was allegedly in an inebriated condition, killed a woman and injured four others after he rammed his speeding car into two-wheelers during the early hours of Friday in Gujarat’s Vadodara. Gujarat police have nabbed him and are on the lookout for his friend who escaped after the incident.

According to police, the incident happened near the busy Muktanand crossroads in the Karelibaug area around 12.30am on Friday. Rakshit Chaurasiya, the 20-year-old student, was allegedly drunk and was driving the car in a rash manner. Chaurasiya, who lost control of the vehicle, rammed his car against two-wheelers. As per CCTV footage collected from the site, speeding car is seen hitting two scooters, knocking down the riders and dragging them along before coming to a halt.

Hemali Patel, the scooter driver, succumbed to injuries at the accident site itself. Chaurasiya’s friend Mit Chauhan escaped from the scene after the incident. The car belonged to Chauhan, police said.

As per video captured by eyewitnesses, Chauhan jumped out of the car and blamed Chaurasiya for the crash. Chaurasiya, who appears incoherent, keeps shouting, “Another round? Another round?” PTI reported. Passerby public reportedly thrashed Chaurasiya before he was handed over to police.

Deputy Police Commissioner Panna Momaya said it was a case of drunken driving and further probe is underway in the case. Chaurasiya originally hails from Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh and was studying law staying at a PG accommodation in Vadodara, Momaya said. Police said efforts are being made to track down Chauhan.
