Two of a family were killed in Bengaluru after the car they were travelling by fell into a 60-foot-deep well on Tuesday, November 16.
The incident occurred when the family of three was returning to Bengaluru from their hometown of Mettur.
The victims were identified as Veera, his daughter Sushmitha, and his wife Uma.
Veera worked as a software engineer in Bengaluru.
In a CCTV video that has now come to light, it can be seen that the vehicle swerved off the road and plunged into a 60-foot-deep well near a roadside hotel.
Veera and Sushmitha were inside the car while Uma fell out of the car into the well. But she could be rescued. She had lost consciousness and was rushed to a nearby hospital.
The cause of the incident is still not known. Among the witnesses, some said that Veera might have hit the accelerator instead of the brake when he lost control over the vehicle. Others claimed that the tyre of the car burst, causing the car to lose its balance in the first place.
Police are investigating the cause of the accident.
Soon after the accident, fire and rescue personnel reached the spot. After a six-hour operation, the car was lifted out with the bodies of Veera and Sushmitha in it.
