Police said four youngsters were partying at RDC District Centre in Ghaziabad on the night of December 25. They were reportedly drunk.

“They were leaving the place in their i10 car but couldn't control it because of being in a drunken state. They hit their car into Bansal’s car in the middle of the road,” said Kavinagar Station Officer A.K. Shishodia.
