A brand-new Mahindra Thar met an unexpected fate at a showroom in East Delhi’s Nirman Vihar on Monday evening. A young couple, Maani Pawar and her husband Pradeep, had just purchased the Thar Rox and were seated inside the SUV along with a showroom employee when the owner accidentally pressed the accelerator. The vehicle shot out from the first floor of the showroom and crashed onto the pavement below, marking a shocking incident in Delhi.
