A devastating road accident on Friday night claimed the lives of three young friends in Pilibhit. The trio, all in their 20s, were riding a single motorcycle when it collided head-on with a tractor-trolley near a temple on the Bisalpur-Benipur road.

The third individual, Ashish Rajput, sustained critical injuries and was initially transferred to a medical college in Pilibhit.
