Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh:<\/em>
A tragic road accident in Gorakhpur has sparked outrage among students and citizens after a 22-year-old MBBS student Akash Pandey lost his life when a speeding SUV (Toyota Fortuner) rammed into multiple two-wheelers on an overbridge. The incident has raised serious concerns about traffic law enforcement and administrative negligence, especially after reports emerged that the accused vehicle had 35 pending challans<\/strong> before the fatal crash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The victim, Akash Pandey<\/strong>, a third-year MBBS student at BRD Medical College, Gorakhpur<\/strong>, was returning after Holi celebrations when a Toyota Fortuner allegedly driving on the wrong side of the road<\/strong> struck several two-wheelers. According to police, four riders were hit in the collision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The impact of the crash was so severe that Akash Pandey was thrown nearly 15 metres into the air<\/strong>. He struck the railing of the overbridge and became stuck in it, reportedly hanging there for nearly 30 minutes before authorities reached the scene<\/strong>. He died on the spot due to the massive trauma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two other victims sustained serious injuries and were rushed to the hospital for treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police later identified the accused driver as Golden Sahni<\/strong>, a local property dealer. Using CCTV footage, authorities traced the vehicle\u2019s registration number and arrested him. The SUV involved in the incident has been seized, and a case of culpable homicide not amounting to murder<\/strong> has been registered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the case has triggered widespread anger after it was revealed that the same vehicle had at least 35 pending traffic challans<\/strong> prior to the incident. This revelation has led to serious questions about how a vehicle with such a long history of traffic violations was allowed to continue operating freely on the roads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students and citizens have demanded a transparent and fair investigation<\/strong> into the incident, not only into the actions of the accused driver but also into the administrative lapses that allowed the vehicle to accumulate dozens of violations without strict action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The death of a young medical student has deeply shaken the medical community and student groups, many of whom are now demanding accountability from the Uttar Pradesh government and local police administration<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Activists and students have urged authorities to ensure that the case is not diluted and that strict charges are applied so that justice is delivered to the victim\u2019s family. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
