A heartbreaking incident occurred in the early hours of Monday, resulting in the loss of life for at least seven students from Assam Engineering College (AEC) due to a road accident in Guwahati's Jalukbari area.

Preliminary information suggests that ten individuals were traveling in the rented vehicle, which belonged to the students, at the time of the accident.

Tragically, seven of them lost their lives instantly, while the remaining three were rushed to Guwahati Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) in critical condition.
