Additionally, police have launched an inquiry into the incident. Yadav added that there has been no casualty so far and rescue work is continuing.

Local sites reached the site after the crash was heard in the neighbourhood, with emergency teams arriving soon after. Gandhinagar Fire Brigade rushed multiple engines and specialised rescue units as ambulances were deployed. Deputy Chief Minister Harsh Sanghavi visited the site and reviewed the operation.
