Abbas was sitting in the back seat and sustained minor injuries. A relative, Shahdab, told The Indian Express, “He wanted to sit in front but his father asked him to sit behind. After the accident, he remained stuck in the back seat for more than half an hour, till he was rescued. Meanwhile, the son of the fifth deceased, Mehraj Siddiqui, said Qamar had requested his father to lend them his car.
