The incident has sparked widespread concern on the social media, where the livestream drew more than thousands of viewers.

Livestream showed emotional distress before crash

In the livestream video, Dobhal was seen to be emotionally distressed while talking about his personal struggles.

At one point during the livestreaming, Dobhal talked to his mother while trying to hold back his tears and said that he felt he had not received the love he needed.

From the speedometer seen in the video, the car was traveling at a speed of more than 150 kilometres per hour before Dobhal turned the steering wheel sharply towards the highway barrier.

According to viewers who watched the broadcast, more than 80,000 people were following the livestream as the incident unfolded.

Earlier video mentioned family dispute

The crash came days after Dobhal uploaded a video titled “The Last Message,” in which he spoke about personal problems and family tensions.

In that video, he had alleged that his parents had opposed his marriage to Ritika, a woman whom he said he had married last May. Dobhal had said that his family had opposed his relationship with Ritika because she belonged to a different caste. He had also said that he had been under severe emotional stress over the past months.
