"We were going ahead of a scooty, we were turning right and there was a pothole on the road. There was a scooty and a car parked near the right turn. Our car touched the scooter and the airbags opened. After that I couldn't tell where the car went.

"I was told that one woman has died and a few have sustained injuries. I want to meet the family of the victims, it is my fault and whatever they want should happen," the accused said as quoted by NDTV.

Though it was reported that Rakshit was taken into custody in an intoxicated state, the accused claimed he was not drunk but had consumed Bhaang (an edible preparation made from the leaves of the cannabis plant).
