Click to play videoNew Delhi: Three students lost their lives in a drunken driving accident on the Delhi-Gurgaon expressway last Saturday. Curran Anand, one of the three who died in the accident was like any other teenager.
A bright young child, 15-year-old Curran did not fit the stereotype of a rich, spoiled brat who lived life in the fast lane. His hobbies and likes were the same as those of any normal teenager - he liked sports, books and cars.
Curran's mother, Gitika Anand, was too emotional to face the camera, but she consented to take the CNN--IBN team in her son's room and let them take a peek into the teenager's life. Curran was a bright student who had just taken his Xth Standard exams.
A sports enthusiast, he earned his first salary teaching skate-boarding to the neighbourhood children and then dedicated the money to his mother. He was not, she said, a rich, drunk brat who lived life on the edge.
His father, Sumir Anand says that not much progress has been made in the case in the last week.
"To the best of my information, finger prints have been taken, but it is six days later and I am not even sure if any pictures were taken at the scene of the accident before the vehicle was removed," says he.
The police have said that the three were driving fast, under the influence of alcohol, but his father refutes that. He says that the autopsy report did not show the presence of liquor in his son's body.
"There is no mention of alcohol in the bodies of the kids and the survivor's blood sample has not been taken," says Sumir Anand.
It is very tough for the families who were present at the site within minutes of the accident. Such was the impact of the collosion that the car literally broke into three pieces and the bodies all came out disfigured.
"The first person I saw was Curran, who was being pulled out from the backseat of the car. On the side of the car, there was a headless body - another boy with black shoes being pulled out. And the front passenger seat had a boy whose legs were still inside the car. The driver side of the seat was totally thrown from the steering to the back of the vehicle," says Sumir Anand.
Meanwhile, the FIR registered in the case has been made against an unnamed driver, as the lone survivor of the accident, Tapan Malik, denies being behind the wheel.
Curran's father meanwhile says that such things are not important to him. "We have lost our son. He will never come back now, but at the end of the day, this was clearly a cse of negligent and rash driving. We want a fair trial and we hope justice wil be done and that is all we seek," is all Sumir Anand can say.
