The Story in Brief
Uttar Pradesh Police are verifying a viral video that purports to show the moment of the car crash that killed Abaan Ahmad, the 20-year-old son of slain gangster-turned-politician Atiq Ahmad, in Jhansi. The Moth circle officer confirmed the verification process and urged people not to share the clip until confirmed. Hindustan Times could not independently verify the video's authenticity.
The crash occurred around 10:30 am on Thursday when Abaan was travelling to visit his brother Ali Ahmed in Jhansi district jail. The car had five occupants; Abaan and Sonu, a Prayagraj resident, died on arrival at hospital, while three others, including driver Zaid, are receiving treatment. Police said Zaid reported a momentary blackout before the car hit a road divider.
The Indian Opinion
A snippet of a fatal crash goes viral before police even confirm it is real. The rush to share unverified footage, especially involving a figure like Atiq Ahmed's family, feeds a cycle of rumour and morbid curiosity. The test here is simple: wait for the police verification report. Until that is out, every share of that video is just noise, not news.
