The bodies were handed over to the families, who declined to pursue further legal action. The reports found do not mention a first information report.
Vidit Olak was the son of Dinesh, the owner of the Punjabi music company Speed Records, and the nephew of Honey Singh. One report spells his surname Auluck. Aarav Talwar was the son of the owner of Pappy Sweets. The reports do not give the ages of either young man.
There were five people in the car. Two died, and the other three returned home, according to the reports found. The reports do not say whether the three were hurt, or whether any of them was driving.
Honey Singh shared an Instagram post after the incident. According to one report he described the loss of his nephew as devastating and called it a dark decade for him. The reports do not carry a fuller statement from the singer or from the family.
The reports found do not say who was driving, how fast the car was going, or whether the tractor-trolley had warning lights or reflectors. They do not give the time of the birthday party or say where it was held. They do not say whether police have registered a case or sent the vehicles for inspection.
The details come from early reports on the day of the accident, and some of them, such as the spelling of the name and the description of the tractor-trolley's purpose, differ between outlets.
