The car accident that shocked the sports world took place on the morning of December 30 last year. Pant was returning home in Roorkee by car from Delhi for New Year’s Eve. At Narsan in Haridwar district, 90 km from Dehradun, the car overturned after hitting a divider and burst into flames. The actor miraculously survived the accident.
Panth was rescued by the staff of the bus who was passing by at the time of the accident and took him to the hospital. After initial treatment at a nearby hospital, he was shifted to Max Hospital in Dehradun. Expert treatment including plastic surgery was provided here. Later he was brought to Mumbai for further treatment. He was airlifted from Dehradun hospital to Mumbai.
