The Audi which was involved killing four people in Ghaziabad when it rammed head on into an auto-rickshaw they were travelling in January this year, has been released by the court on Tuesday.

The court ordered the release of the Audi after the owner of the Audi deposited a security deposit of Rs 50 lakh.
