A relative of the deceased said, “I live in Barasat. As soon as I heard about Amit’s accident, I rushed. I spoke to the driver. He falsely claimed he was driving at 20-30 km/h, but that’s not true. The car hit them so hard that the headlights were completely smashed. The driver said he dozed off and accidentally caused the deaths.”
