The deceased Sagar, 23, and the injured Mithun were going on a bike from Dhanas to Mataur when a truck hit them. After the incident, irate family members and friends staged a protest at the accident site and pelted stones at the truck and a police vehicle as the police tried to remove the victims from the spot. The protesters demanded action against the truck driver, Bikker Singh.
