Three people were killed and five were injured when Siddharth's BMW car hit an auto-rickshaw here last week.


The CCTV footage from a bar in Jaipur shows three young men drinking post midnight on July 2. Among them is Siddharth Maharia.


Later, as per the footage, the three men are seen getting into the car and Siddharth occupying the driver's seat.


 


The accident happened nearly two hours later when the BMW hit the auto-rickshaw at a very high speed. Three occupants of the auto rickshaw were killed on the spot.


The car also hit a parked police van injuring another five, including four policemen.


Siddharth, 20, had so far claimed that the car was being driven by his driver and that he wasn't drunk when the incident took place.


However, the CCTV video footage has now weakened Siddharth's case.
