A video of tragic accident that burnt five friends altogether in a car shook social media. Five friends met with an accident led to car blast.
The funeral pyres for five friends who lost their lives in a road accident were lit on Sunday, with another youth’s last rites performed on Friday evening. The devastating incident occurred on Friday night near Dasua, along the Jalandhar-Pathankot National Highway, resulting in the loss of five lives.
The friends, affiliated with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and actively engaged in its activities, were mourned by their families and the RSS community. The cremation of Ankit Kumar (Software Engineer) from Pink City Colony, Jalandhar; Indrajit Bhagat from Azaad Nagar Bhargav Camp; Raju from Avatar Nagar; and Abhi from Bhargav Camp took place simultaneously at the Model House cremation ground on Sunday morning.
Inderjit’s pyre was lit first, followed by Abhi, then Raju, and finally, Ankit. The families were in profound sorrow, and the RSS community also expressed grief over their untimely deaths. The last rites ceremony took place around 11:30 AM on Sunday.

Various dignitaries, including Jalandhar MP Sushil Kumar Rinku, former MLA Pawan Kumar Teenu, Mahinder Bhagat, and Congress senior leader Mahinder Singh Kepi, attended the ceremony.
Raju’s mother, in tears, lamented, “What wrong did I do, O God? You took away my everything.” Raju’s sisters were unwilling to part with his body. One of them pleaded, “Brother, somehow get up. I am calling you; respond.”The preliminary investigation revealed that Rishabh was driving the car, which collided with a truck on the Jalandhar-Pathankot National Highway. After the collision, there was an explosion in the CNG cylinder of the car, resulting in three immediate fatalities. Another succumbed to injuries at the hospital, while the fifth friend lost his life in the crash.
The overturned truck added to the chaos at the accident scene. The investigation is ongoing to determine the exact sequence of events leading to this tragic incident.
