"It was a narrow lane and there were heavy vehicles going up and down. They saw a huge dumper truck coming and stopped their car, waiting for it to pass.

He also shared that doctors have confirmed that Vaibhavi was wearing a seatbelt which was proved by the marks around her neck. Ankit shared that:
"She was always cautious and would never sit in a car without a seat belt. So, on a road trip, she would be extra cautious. The doctors also confirmed how there were seat belt marks around her neck. It is sad that we were thinking of planning her marriage, but now she is gone."
