Police said four people were in the car, and all of them were allegedly intoxicated. One occupant has been detained while others fled. The vehicle has been seized.
All injured were taken to Jaipuria Hospital for primary treatment. Eight were admitted, while others were taken to private hospitals or went home with family members.
