The police stated that Srivastava received a blunt impact on his head and hand, after which he saw a car running over Ganesh, who was sleeping beside him. He allegedly saw the car driver and his friends coming out of the vehicle but as they duo were lying unresponsive, they fled the scene in their vehicle.
