Kaur told police that when she gained consciousness, they were being taken in a van to the hospital. "I kept telling the woman who was in the van with us to take us to a nearby hospital, but she did not," police quoted Kaur as saying in the first information report (FIR).She said her husband was unconscious and needed immediate treatment, and could have been saved if he had been treated in time.
