Drunk Driving Accidents in Vadodara and Dehradun Leave Five Dead and Several Injured

Separate incidents in Gujarat and Uttarakhand highlight the dangers of reckless driving, with law enforcement investigating both cases involving young drivers under suspicion of intoxication.

In Vadodara, Gujarat, a 23-year-old law student, Rakshit Chaurasia, allegedly drove a speeding car into multiple two-wheelers, killing a woman and injuring four others.
Eyewitnesses reported that Chaurasia appeared intoxicated, repeatedly shouted 'another round,' and behaved erratically, as seen in widely circulated video footage.
Chaurasia was arrested on the scene, while his passenger, Pranshu Chauhan, who owned the car, fled and is being sought by police.
In Dehradun, Uttarakhand, 22-year-old Vansh Katyal was arrested after a speeding Mercedes he was driving ran over four laborers and injured two scooter riders, all of whom were on the roadside.
Police in both cases are conducting forensic tests to confirm alcohol or drug use and continuing investigations into the circumstances of the crashes.
