A 20-year-old man, reported as the son of an army officer, dies after his car falls into an open drain in Vasant Kunj, south Delhi. Multiple outlets report that the incident occurs when the vehicle goes into the ditch/drain area, leading to the man’s death. NDTV and India Today describe him as a student who was pursuing higher education in the United States. Times of India adds that he had returned from the US and that another person—accompanied by him—escapes without injuries.
Times of India reports that the car skids, attributing the crash to poor road conditions, which it says are worsened by recent rainfall. Police later retrieve the vehicle and the victim’s body from the drain. The accounts do not provide further details on the circumstances leading up to the crash or any investigation findings. The incident is described as a fatal accident involving a vehicle entering a drain/open ditch in the Vasant Kunj area.
