“It was my birthday on the 5th, so after work I went out with my wife. While crossing the road at Ek Murti Chowk, a car was being driven at a very high and reckless speed. The car hit me at what appeared to be a speed of over 100 km/h and drove away. The way the car was being driven, it appeared to me that the driver might have been under the influence of alcohol”
