Those who have been injured include Vaibhav Chedda, Ramesh Patel and Santosh Mishra. An employee of Space.com, Rohit Shah, who attended the party, said, &ldquo;It was Niraj&rsquo;s birthday on September 12, so a group of 10 people had gathered at another friend Sanket&rsquo;s flat in Dombivli for the celebrations. I reached the place around 11.30 pm and left at 3 am. On Tuesday, around 10.30 am I received a call about the accident.&rdquo;
Unusual decision Shah further said, &ldquo;That morning the seven of them decided to go to office in a car, which was driven by Vikrant Singh. However, Singh had not attended the party. Singh was supposed to drop them at the station and then drive to office.&rdquo;
