The incident occurred on the eve of December 31, where parents were preparing to celebrate their son's birthday and the New Year simultaneously.

The unfortunate road accident occurred near the Mahewa Road in the Achhalda police area the previous evening. Ajay, along with a relative, was on his way on a motorcycle to fetch a cake for his son's birthday. Shortly after setting out from the village and hitting the road, an unidentified vehicle struck Ajay's motorcycle.

The impact left both Ajay and his companion Chandan severely injured. They were quickly transported to the Community Health Center (CHC), where Ajay was declared deceased. Chandan, given the seriousness of his condition, was referred to the Saifai RIMS for further medical attention.
