25-year-old social media celebrity died and his two friends were injured after their speeding car crashed into a tree in Greater Noida on Monday, police said.
Rohit Bhati also known as Rowdy Bhati died in the accident while his friends are undergoing treatment at hospitals – one in Greater Noida and the other in Delhi, a police official said.
“They are said to be returning from a party when the incident took place around 3 am near the Chuhadpur underpass. Apparently the speeding car failed to negotiate a turn and hit a tree,” Anil Kumar, in-charge of the local Beta 2 police station, told PTI.
According to the police, Bhati, who was behind the steering of the speeding Maruti Swift, died on the spot, while his friends Manoj and Atish – both around 25, were left injured.
