Vadodara Car Crash Leaves One Dead and Four Injured; Law Student Arrested

Rakshit Chaurasia, a 20-year-old law student, denies being drunk during the accident, which eyewitnesses claim involved intoxicated and reckless behavior.

The accident occurred near Muktanand Crossroads in Vadodara, Gujarat, when a speeding car rammed into two scooters, killing a woman and injuring four others.
Rakshit Chaurasia, the driver and a law student, was arrested and charged with culpable homicide; police are investigating the possibility of drunk driving.
Eyewitnesses reported that Chaurasia appeared intoxicated, shouting phrases like 'another round' and 'Om Namah Shivay' after the crash, though he denies being drunk.
Chaurasia claims the accident was caused by potholes and the sudden deployment of airbags, which he says obstructed his vision and caused him to lose control.
The incident has drawn public outrage, with criticism over how the accused was able to speak to media while in custody and questions raised about liquor availability in Gujarat, a dry state.
