Two NRI youths were killed when the car in which they were travelling banged into a tree after hitting a motorcycle near Sarabha village on the Jodhan Pakhowal road late on Thursday night.
The deceased were identified as Ravi Sher Gill of Latala village and Nobandeep Singh of Brahampur village in Ludhiana district.
Jobanpreet of Kalsian village and Jaskaran of Rattowal village, who were on the motorcycle, were seriously injured. The third person travelling on the motorcycle sustained minor injuries.
Such was the impact of the accident that the car was completely damaged. All the victims were rushed to a multi-speciality hospital at Ludhiana, where Ravi Sher Gill and Nobandeep Singh succumbed to their injuries.
As Ravi’s father and other members of his family are in Canada, the police are yet to record the statements of the family members. Ravi and Nobandeep had returned from Canada only a couple of days ago and were going to Sudhar when the accident took place.
The police have initiated a probe into the sequence of events leading to the mishap and further action would be taken based on the statements submitted by the victims’ families.
