While speaking to ANI, the eyewitness, said, "She was in a drunken state but insisted on driving the two-wheeler. After being hit by the car, she came under the car and got dragged with it. I was scared and went away and returned home, didn’t tell anything to anyone."

Nidhi said that Anjali was at fault for driving the vehicle while she was under the influence of alcohol. While speaking to ANI, she said, “It is the fault of the girl who was driving in an inebriated state. I insisted to her so much that don’t drive, I am conscious, let me drive. She didn`t believe me and believed herself.”
