According to reports, Chaurasia was driving a black Volkswagen Virtus GT Plus with the number plate GJ06RA687, and it belonged to his friend, Meet Chauhan, who was also in the car during the time of the accident. The vehicle is reportedly registered under Deon Technology Pvt Ltd. Chaurasia was reportedly driving at speeds of over 100 km/h at the time of the crash.
Meanwhile, Chauhan, who owned the car, reportedly fled the scene immediately after the accident. The tragic event also led to the cancellation of a local Holi celebration called Rangotsav.
Viral video of Meet Chauhan and Rakshit Chaurasia after the accident
Following the accident, video footage of the accident scene has been going viral online. In one clip, Chauhan attempts to distance himself from the situation, while Chaurasia stays in the vehicle, calling out to his friend. Another clip shows Chaurasia shouting phrases like “Another round!” and repeatedly calling out a girl’s name, “Nikita,” before suddenly chanting “Om Namah Shivay.”
According to witness reports, Chaurasia was intoxicated, and some bystanders even confronted him before allegedly assaulting him. Another video shows Chauhan, coming out of the car in a white T-shirt and shouting:
Chhod merko, chu**ya insaan. Mera kuch nahi hai, wo gaadi chala raha tha (I did not do anything, he was driving the car).”
