However, senior police officers from Nuh alleged negligence on the part of the National Highways Authority of India’s contractor and its CCTV camera monitoring team, due to which the couple did not get any help despite reportedly being trapped in the vehicle for eight hours.

Lacchi Ram, 42, and his wife, Kusum Lata, 38, died after the grey WagonR they were travelling in from Hindaun in Rajasthan to Delhi hit the rear of a dumper truck and was then hit bya Maruti Ertiga on the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway around Tuesday midnight. Investigators said they have ascertained the details of the two vehicles and are in the process of contacting their owners.
