Among five of those travelling, a lady identified as Rukhsana died on the spot while other four sustained severe injuries. Speaking to TOI, MLA Vipin Kumar David said, "For me they were just humans. It does not matter to me whether they were Muslims or Hindus. As a human being, it was my duty to save their lives and that's what I did and everyone should do in such situations."
