On reaching the spot, police found that an Audi Q8 e-tron with a Haryana number plate had allegedly lost control and hit three parked cars.

Eyewitness Ashutosh Kumar told PTI, "I had parked my car here around 10 am and went upstairs to work. Around 1 pm, we heard a loud sound and immediately came down. We saw that multiple cars had been hit and the Audi had finally crashed into a parked truck. Multiple cars were damaged. The car was not under control. We don’t know exactly what happened -- whether the driver was drunk or if the brakes failed."

A case is being registered against the driver of the Audi under relevant sections and further investigation is underway, police said.
