Rishabh Pant accident: Ritika Sajdeh reacts after sensitive details from India cricketer's car crash goes viral

Ritika Sajdeh, wife of Team India captain Rohit Sharma, has come forward and criticised a section of journalists for their inhuman behaviour and unethical practice. Sajdeh was referring to the sensitive images and videos of India wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant which went viral after he met with a horrific car accident in the early hours of Friday morning near Hammadpur.

Following the car crash, Pant was taken to the Saksham Hospital Multispeciality and Trauma Centre for primary treatment before being admitted to Dehradun’s Max Hospital. Even though the southpaw’s condition is stable, the doctors are checking whether the cricketer has suffered any internal injuries.

They have family and friends: Ritika Sajdeh

“Shame on you for posting images and videos of someone who’s hurt and unable to decide whether or not they want that out there. They have family and friends who were terribly affected by these images,” Ritika Sajdeh wrote on her Instagram story. 

“There’s journalism and then there is just plain insensitivity,” she concluded.

It so happened that viral videos of the CCTV footage of Pant’s car colliding with the divider and then catching fire were posted on social media just hours after his horrific accident. At the same time, disturbing images and videos of Pant’s bloodstained face also circulated on the social platforms. 

Meanwhile, the doctors at the Max Hospital have gone on to say that the left-handed batter has sustained lacerations on his back and near his eye and has also suffered a ligament tear on his right knee. 

As of now, it is still unclear as to how long the 25-year-old will be out of action from the cricket field. He was given a break from the home white-ball series against Sri Lanka starting January 3. 

Pant  himself had to contact the authorities and the ambulance services for help despite being severely wounded after the crash  after some miscreants took undue advantage of his situation by stealing his cash from one of the bags and fleeing from the scene.
