Halam was one of the four resident doctors with AIIMS department of emergency who was shifted to the trauma centre at around 9.30am on Sunday, almost seven hours after their car crashed into a truck on the Yamuna Expressway. Three of their doctor colleagues died in the accident that took place near Mathura, around 150km from Delhi. Jitendra Maurya, Mahesh Kumar, Abhinava Singh escaped with minor injuries but were kept under observation for a few hours. All the doctors were bright students and were preparing for the post-graduate entrance examination while working as resident doctors in the emergency department, a source in the unit said, requesting anonymity as he was not authorised to speak to media. The group was on way to Agra to celebrate the birthday of Wankhede, who had turned 35 a day earlier.
