Deepak was on his way to meet someone when Golu asked for a lift. Minutes after the men left from Paharganj, a speeding vehicle came from the opposite direction. Deepak, the driver, took a sudden turn towards the left to escape head-on collision with the vehicle coming from the opposite side but lost the balance and hit a tree.
