A fortnight after the horrific hit-and-run accident in Vadodara that claimed the life of a woman and injured multiple people in Karelibaug, a report, believed to be from the German car manufacturer, claimed that the 20-year-old accused Rakshit Chaurasia's car was speeding at 120-130 km per hour.

Chaurasia was driving a Volkswagen car when the accident happened.

However, Karelibaug Police Inspector H M Vyas has denied they have received any such report. Meanwhile, Deputy Commissioner of Police Panna Momaya said that they will make the details public once they receive the report. 

The police had arrested Chaurasia, a native of Varanasi residing in Nizampura, Vadodara. Along with him, blood reports of the car owner’s son, Meet Chauhan (from Bhayli), who was sitting in the front passenger's seat, and Suresh Bharwad (from Kishanwadi), have also been sought, besides the car’s speed report.

Earlier, Vadodara police had stated that the two individuals responsible for the accident had consumed drugs on the night of the incident to celebrate Holi. This was revealed in a rapid test. A medical test has been conducted to confirm it.

The deceased was identified as Hemaliben, who had stepped out for shopping ahead of the festival of Dhuleti. The accident also left Jaini (12), Nishaben (35), an unidentified girl, and a 40-year-old man severely injured. All the injured victims are undergoing treatment.
