“These were 10 BTech students who had hired a blue Scorpio car to go to Murthal to eat paranthas. They were planning to have a late-night dinner. When they reached GT Karnal Road, a tractor was moving ahead of them. It was pulling a trolley filled with bricks. Suddenly their car crashed into it,” said a senior police officer.

The impact was so huge that the left side of the car was completely damaged, said police. The three students who died were allegedly sitting on the left side.
