Actor Pankaj Tripathi's brother-in-law, Rajesh Tiwari, passed away in a car accident in Dhanbad, Jharkhand, on April 20 and his sister is currently being treated in a hospital after suffering multiple injuries.

Rajesh and his wife Sabita were traveling from Gopalganj to Kolkata when the accident occurred on NH-19.

Now, CCTV footage of the accident has surfaced online which shows the car ramming into a road divider in the middle of a busy street.

Rakesh Tiwari, Pankaj Tripathi's brother-in-law, was allegedly driving the car during the accident. Police report that he lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a divider on the Delhi-Kolkata National Highway-2.
