The incident occurred around 2 a.m. when Vivek, son of a Paschim Vihar government school principal, was on his way home along with his four friends, later identified as Shantu, Satbir and Bhola, after reportedly attending a party somewhere in South Delhi. Driving down Prithviraj Road, Vivek tried to negotiate a turn towards South End when he lost control over the vehicle and it overturned. The vehicle was dragged some distance before coming to a halt. Some passers-by informed the police about the incident. Subsequently, the injured were rushed to Lohia Hospital where Vivek and Shantu were declared dead on arrival. While the other three were kept under observation, Satbir's condition was stated to be serious as he had sustained injuries on the head and other parts of the body. Initial investigations revealed that Vivek was driving the vehicle.
