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.

Rahul Gandhi alleges Election Commission 'compromised' in US; BJP responds sharply
Boston / New Delhi: Congress leader and Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, while addressing an event in Boston, USA, alleged that the Election Commission of India (ECI) is "compromised" and raised concerns about the integrity of the electoral process.
Citing figures from the Maharashtra Assembly elections, Gandhi claimed that more people had reportedly voted than the total number of adult citizens in the state. He further questioned the voting data, stating, “The Election Commission gave us a voting figure for 5:30 PM and between 5:30 PM and 7:30 PM, 65 lakh voters voted. This is physically impossible. For a person to vote, it takes approximately 3 minutes. If you do the math, this would mean lines of voters extending till 2 AM—but such queues were never seen.”
He added that when the Congress party requested videography records to verify the voting data, the ECI not only denied the request but subsequently changed the law to restrict access to such footage.
The BJP responded strongly to Gandhi’s remarks. Party spokesperson CR Kesavan accused him of launching another "Bharat Badnam Yatra" and tarnishing India’s institutions abroad. “Rahul Gandhi, who is once again undermining India’s democracy on foreign soil, is peddling lies and falsehoods. He attacks our Election Commission in America at a time when global leaders, including former US President Donald Trump, have praised India’s electoral system,” Kesavan said.
Kesavan further criticized Gandhi for attempting to damage the credibility of Indian institutions while overseas, suggesting that the Congress leader lacks an understanding of the robustness of the country’s democratic framework.
