He said, “There was definitely something wrong, but they were taken to a hospital 20 km away and it took an hour. It was not even a hospital, more like a nursing home. They did not have any facilities. When I reached, my mom was being treated in the lobby itself. They did not even have proper equipment, and I do not know why they were taken to that hospital.”

“There are better hospitals near Dhaula Kuan and AIIMS too. He could have been saved if he had been taken there.”

An eyewitness's statement:
Gulfam, an eyewitness who took the victims to New Life Hospital, told ANI, “I was coming from Dhaula Kuan when I saw a car in an accidental condition and some people were injured. I made two people sit in my car and took them to the hospital. There were two injured persons in my car, and another woman was sitting in the front seat. The lady sitting in the front seat told me to take the car towards Azadpur and to New Life Hospital…”
“The condition of the injured was very bad. It took us 1 hour to reach the hospital. The doctors were ready at the hospital, and I think this is why she asked me to take them to that hospital. I didn’t ask them anything because I didn’t know much about the nearby areas…” Gulfam added.
