This July will mark a year of tragic ISKCON Bridge accident, when Tathya Patel’s speeding Jaguar took nine lives. Recently, rumours started floating that the possession of the car involved in the accident was handed over to its owner Krish Variya. However, Ahmedabad police clarified that it was still in possession of the authorities.

A petition was filed in the Gujarat High Court seeking to quash a trial court’s order to hand back the Jaguar car involved in the ISKCON Bridge accident to its owner.

After the accident, SG Highway Traffic Police booked Tathya and his father Pragnesh Patel and seized the high-end car which belonged to Krish, the son of Pragnesh’s friend Himanshu Variya. 

According to reports, the application to get back the car was not filed by the owner but by some unknown person.

The Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) was also shocked to know about the trial court’s application as the car was still in possession of police.

The city police also took to social media and clarified that the ‘news circulating in various newspapers and social media about police handing over Patel’s car are wrong. Don't pay attention to rumours’.

The police are investigating who filed an application to get the car back. As per the order of HC, a complaint will be filed against the offender.
