The deceased have been idenfitied as Sakeena (39), her children Sajeer (18) and Sanira (16), Sakeena's brother's wife Khairunnisa (24), her daughter Fathima (2), Sakeena's son Irfan's wife Ramzeena (25).

Sakeena's 4-year-old son Ajmal (4) and Irfan's 8-month-old son Inaam escaped with minor injuries. Sajeer's friend Irshad (19), who was with the family in the car, is in a critical condition and is undergoing treatment.

The victims, residents of Chettukundu, were on their way to a relative's house in Kasaragod to attend an Iftar get-together. The accident took place at 6.25 pm on Monday.

Driving on the KSTP road, Sajeer lost control of the car while taking a deviation at an under-construction area. The car skid away from the road, rammed into a banyan tree and turned upside down.

Sajeer and Khairunnisa died on the spot. Sakeena and Sanira lost their lives after they were rushed to a private hospital in Uduma. The 2-year-old Fathima succumbed to injuries en route to a hospital in Mangaluru. The 8-month-old baby was thrown out of the car and miraculously escaped.

The victims were taken out by locals from the completely crushed car after cutting through the vehicle.

Though Sakeena, Sanira and Ramzeena were hospitalised by the rescuers immediately, their lives could not be saved.

One of the saddest reports I have ever read. Their intention was to do Iftar together. God's intention was to give them death together. Hope they will do a better Iftar in heaven.
