PTC News Desk: In a tragic turn of events, a speeding car ran over two teenage girls in Chandigarh's Sector-45, while they were crossing roads, killing the elder sister Sajaf (19) on the spot and critically injuring her younger sister, Isha (17).

Meanwhile, a massive row erupted at GMCH Hospital in Sector 32 a day after the accident with the family of the teenage girls alleging harassment by doctors.
The girl’s father alleged that instead of treating his daughter, the doctors were threatening to throw them out. “They even called the guards and tried to force us outside,” he claimed. Questioning the police’s handling of the case, he said that the driver of the Thar has still not been arrested, even though CCTV cameras are installed across the city.
The family has warned of larger demonstration if appropriate action is not taken soon.
According to the information, over 10 challans were issued in the name of Thar driver, yet no arrest have been made so far. However, the police officials said that the driver's house was traced to Sector 21. However, they found out that the driver no longer lived there.
