Two friends, including Honey Singh’s nephew, die in Jalandhar crash
Vidit Olak and Aarav Talwar died in a car crash in Jalandhar, Punjab, early Sunday.
Olak was the nephew of singer and rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh, while Talwar was the son of the owner of Pappi Sweets.
Their car hit a parked municipal tractor-trolley on a flyover near the police lines as they returned from a birthday party.
Municipal workers had left the tractor-trolley there while cleaning the flyover and collecting rubbish.
Three other people were reportedly in the car; they survived, though accounts differ on whether all had reached home before the crash.
Honey Singh posted that he had lost his nephew and described the loss as devastating.
The families declined further legal action, and the victims’ bodies were handed over to them.
