Man crashes Jaguar trying to spit from window on Noida expressway, dies
GREATER NOIDA: Drivers spitting pan masala or gutkha out of moving cars by rolling down the window or opening the door — it’s a common sight on the roads of Delhi-NCR.
On the Noida expressway on Thursday night, this cost a property dealer his life.
Prashant Kasana succumbed to his injuries on Friday evening, almost 24 hours after the accident at the Noida expressway’s zero point in Greater Noida.
Police said Kasana was a property dealer based out of Sector Alpha 1. Kasana, an original resident of Chitehra village in Greater Noida, was returning from Jewar in a Jaguar when the accident took place around 6.30 pm on Thursday.
Mahaveer, a guard on the highway who claimed to have witnessed the accident, said the Jaguar was being driven at a very high speed as it approached the zero point on the expressway. The person driving it, according to Mahaveer, rolled down the window near the turn and tried to spit something he was chewing.
But in doing that, he lost control of the car as he had taken his eyes off the road. The car crashed into the grille on the side of the road near zero point, at the point where a vehicle has to follow a loop to switch to the Noida Expressway. He received serious injuries on his head.
“The guards present on the expressway rushed him to Kailash Hospital in Kasna with the help of a passerby, from where he was referred to Apollo Hospital in Sarita Vihar area in New Delhi,” said Arvind Pathak, station house officer at Knowledge Park police station.
Harish Kasana, a neighbour of the victim told TOI that he was operated on Friday morning but succumbed to his injuries in the evening.
A spokesperson from the Kailsh Hospital where the victim was first taken to, said he was kept on ventilator since he had received a serious head injury and a fracture in the arm. Later in the night, he was shifted to Apollo Hospital with the family’s consent.
An Apollo hospital representative said the victim was admitted in critical condition on Thursday night and was kept under constant observation. But despite best efforts, he succumbed to his injuries in on Friday night.

TN Assembly elections: Eight-month pregnant homemaker wins Thiru Vi Ka Nagar seat for TVK
Chennai (PTI): Before giving birth, she had already delivered a mandate—a symbol of hope for Thiru Vi Ka Nagar.
Echoing Delhi’s 2013 “common citizen” political churn associated with the rise of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), an eight-month-pregnant homemaker, M R Pallavi, has been elected as an MLA from Chennai’s Thiru Vi Ka Nagar constituency, emerging as one of the notable first-time faces of the Vijay-led TVK in the recently held Tamil Nadu Assembly elections.
In the narrow lanes of Thiru Vi Ka Nagar, a steady stream of media personnel has been making their way to Pallavi’s residence—a scene reminiscent of the result day in Delhi when journalists thronged the modest home of Rakhi Birla, who had won from Mangolpuri on an AAP ticket.
Pallavi, 36, a homemaker educated up to class XII, defeated the DMK candidate K S Ravichandran by a margin of 22,333 votes in the reserved Thiru Vi Ka Nagar Assembly constituency.
Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam emerged as the single largest party by winning 108 seats, while DMK and AIADMK got 59 and 47, respectively.
Pallavi’s victory has drawn attention due to her personal circumstances. She campaigned extensively while eight months pregnant, going door-to-door to reach voters.
According to local accounts, she even fainted once during the campaign but continued her outreach.
She has not spoken to the media following her victory, as doctors have advised her to rest. Her husband, Rajesh, briefly recounted her campaign efforts.
A self-professed admirer of actor-turned-politician Vijay, Pallavi joined TVK soon after its formation and is now among its first-time legislators.
Doctors have advised her to be hospitalised around May 20, as she is expecting her second child. Ahead of that, voters in Thiru Vi Ka Nagar have entrusted her with representing them in the state Assembly.
Political observers say the rise of candidates like Pallavi signals a possible shift in Tamil Nadu’s political landscape, with voters backing a new party and candidates from non-traditional backgrounds.
