However, some reports suggest that the injured cricketer was in a bad shape and couldn’t come out of car. A report said that he was rescued by local people who assembled at the spot and brought him out of the accident hit car.
A twitter handle named @suryakant claimed that the cricketer was also robbed off his money by the same people who pulled him out of the burning Mercedes car.
ऋषभ पंत ने कार का दरवाजा खोलकर खुद बाहर निकलने की कोशिश की, लेकिन वह घायल होने के कारण ऐसा नहीं कर पाए। उनके पास एक बैग भी था। वहीं हादसे की जगह पहुंचे कुछ युवकों ने ऋषभ की मदद न कर उनके बैग से रुपए लिए और वहां से भाग गए।
