It’s worth noting that Pant was alone in his car when the car hit a divider on the Delhi-Dehradun highway. He broke the Mercedes windscreen to escape from the vehicle after it caught fire. Reportedly, a bus driver and conductor of Haryana Roadways named Sushil Kumar and Paramjeet helped him get out of his luxury car.
Pant suffered two cuts on his forehead, a ligament tear in his right knee and has also hurt his right wrist, ankle, toe and bruises on his back. However, he was conscious at the time of the severe accident and his condition is said to be stable as of now. Rishabh is currently receiving treatment at the Max Hospital in Dehradun.
