Following the accident, Upendra Prasad and his supporters alleged that it was an attempt to kill him. The police arrested two persons in connection with the accident.

"A speeding car came from the wrong side and tried to drag our car. Our driver showed the presence of mind and used emergency brakes and we were saved. This was undoubtedly a plot to kill me," Prasad was quoted as saying.
