Laxman Singh, 65, and his daughter Ashu were residents of Dhakoli in Punjab's Mohali district. The family was returning to Chandigarh after Ashu underwent treatment at Manona Dham when accident occurred in Saidangali police station area.
CO Pankaj Tyagi said the bodies had been sent for postmortem. He said treatment of the injured was underway and further legal action would be taken based on the complaint.

Laxman Singh and Ashu died on the spot. More than a dozen people were injured. htc...
