Ajay Miani, who survived the accident, mentioned that one of our sisters had arrived from the village, so we all went for a walk along the Ring Road. On Sunday, we were all meant to go to our original village. While we were sitting on the Ring Road, a car rammed into us at a speed of 100 km/h.  I didn’t dare to look at the accident and ended up asleep on the ground.  I’ve been injured in one leg, one breast, and one arm. A fracture seems to have occurred. My nephew and brother-in-law died at the scene.
