Meanwhile, Pal's friend Sunny Bose claimed that Bunty's motorcycle rear-ended the victim's bike. Pal's phone and Go-Pro camera were also stolen. Speaking to news agency PTI, Bose said, "His mobile phone was ringing till 10 pm, but later it was showing off. A Go-Pro camera which he used to record video for his work purpose is also missing. We are not looking for any compensation from anyone, we only want justice."

“He was wearing an expensive helmet. He was the one who was lying in a pool of blood for more than 20 minutes. No one had come forward to help him. People gathered there just to click pictures and record videos, it was when a bike taxi aggregator along with three other men picked him up and rushed him to a nearby hospital," he said.

According to the senior police officer, another FIR has been filed against Bunty under sections 279 (rash driving) and 337 (causing harm by an act endangering human life, etc.) of the IPC.
