Assistant Commissioner of Police (Noida) Ankita Sharma said the victim, Diwakar Motwani, suffered severe injuries and has been hospitalised.

"There was an argument between both the sides after cars apparently brushed against each other. The argument escalated into a fistfight. The other side then hit the person (Motwani) with their car at a very fast speed," Sharma said.

Accused are all students aged 21-23

Police also said the accused driver is a college student and lives with his family in Noida. The other accused, aged between 21 and 23, are also students.
