We will file a primary case of accidental death in this case."A pendulum ride known as 'Discovery' is pictured after crashing at Kankaria Lake Front in Ahmedabad on July 14, 2019. At least two visitors have died and more then 20 injured have been hospitalized after the ride crashed at an amusement park in Kankaria Lake Front.

Joint Commissioner of Police in Ahmedabad, Vipul Aggarwal, offered his condolences to the victims and promised police would find those responsible.
