"My daughter did not tell me. I also came to know about it a while ago when people came to my residence. Then I came to know about it and when I saw the video, I was very surprised that even my daughter did not tell me about it after coming home," he told NDTV. "The way this accident happened, it is not a normal thing. There was not much traffic on the road."
