Pant was traveling to Roorkee to his hometown as he wanted to surprise his mother for the New Year. Nevertheless, he dozed off and rammed onto the divider where his car overturned. The CCTV footage shows his vehicle was over speeding. He had to break the windshield to get out of the car which was already engulfed in flames.

He was given first aid by the local doctors after which he was rushed to Max Dehradun super specialty hospital. Now, the doctors have come out with the first official update with a medical bulletin due in some time.
