Police teams led by Paonta Sahib DSP Manvendra Thakur rushed to the spot to control the situation, while the Kaffota SDM of also reached the site to pacify the protesters and restore normal traffic movement.
A CCTV footage of the accident has also surfaced on social media and is being widely circulated in the area.
