Another senior police officer said that Pankaj had warned Harsh to slow down, but he did not listen to him, ultimately leading to the fatal accident.

The deceased have been identified as Anish Ansari (45), who was employed in a factory in Mayapuri, and Phool Singh (35), a chick maker. The injured were identified as Kuldeep (28), Phool's wife Soni (25), and five-year-old nephew Vishal, said Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), West, Vichitra Veer, in a statement.

They were roaming around looking for some dhaba. At the place of the incident, Harsh failed to control the vehicle due to overspeeding, hitting bicycle riders and the jhuggi, he added.

The DCP further said it was found on verification that "he has a driver's license and on medical examination, he was found to be under the influence of alcohol".
