A high-speed Mahindra Thar allegedly driven recklessly caused chaos in the Shalimar Garden area of Ghaziabad, leaving four people injured after crashing into two scooters and bystanders late on the night of April 23. The driver has been detained, police said.

According to officials, the incident occurred around 10:50 pm near Aggarwal Sweets, where Sumit Gupta and his wife Poonam Gupta had stopped their scooter to have ice cream. A black Thar, reportedly moving at high speed, lost control and rammed into their vehicle.

The impact was severe, leaving the couple seriously injured and their scooter badly damaged. The car then hit another scooter, injuring its riders, identified as Siddharth and Prince Gupta.

The injured alleged that the driver appeared to be under the influence of alcohol at the time of the accident.

Following the crash, Prince Gupta alerted police by dialling 112. A police team reached the spot promptly and shifted the injured to a nearby hospital for treatment.

Police have seized the Thar from the scene and, based on a complaint by the victims, registered a case and detained the accused driver.
