Pant, reportedly, dozed off while driving, which resulted in the accident. Since the happening, social media has been filled up with photos and videos of the accident, some of them being too sensitive.

Ritika took to her Instagram story to condemn media houses and asked them to stop sharing the images and videos.

“Shame on you for posting images and videos of someone who’s hurt and unable to decide whether or not they want that out there. They have family and friends who were terribly affected by these images, Ritika wrote.

She also went on to say that it was insensitive to share the photos publically as Pant’s family and friends would be affected by it.

“There’s journalism and then there is plain insensitivity.”

Pant was immediately shifted to Max Hospital in Dehradun after the incident.

He has two cuts on his forehead, a ligament tear in his right knee, and has also hurt his right wrist, ankle, toe, and has suffered abrasion injuries on his back, BCCI confirmed in a statement.
