Disha Patani’ Sister, Ex-Army Major, Rushes Victims to Hospital, Slams Slow Aid

New Delhi, December 02, 2025: Bollywood actress Disha Patani’s elder sister, Khushboo Patani, a former Indian Army Major, has drawn widespread attention after she rushed to help victims of a fatal road accident and then sharply criticized the local emergency services for a massive delay in response. The incident, which highlights serious issues in India’s emergency infrastructure, occurred on the Delhi-Lucknow Highway near Moradabad.

The Heroic Intervention

On a recent Sunday, a horrific collision involving a speeding state-run bus and a tempo (a type of commercial vehicle) resulted in multiple casualties. Reports confirm that six members of a single family, including two children, were tragically killed while on their way to a wedding function. Several others sustained critical injuries.

Khushboo Patani, who happened to be driving along the stretch at the time, immediately stopped to help. Witnessing the chaos and the grave injuries of the survivors, she sprang into action. Without waiting for official help, she and a few other passersby began the crucial work of moving the injured away from the road to prevent further harm.

Finding the scene devoid of medical aid, the former Army officer took the initiative to organize transport herself. She arranged for auto-rickshaws and personally helped to rush four to five survivors to a nearby hospital, an act that likely saved lives in what is often called the ‘golden hour’ for trauma victims.

Raising Concerns over Systemic Failure

The true severity of the situation became clear in the video Khushboo later shared on her social media, which quickly went viral. In the video, she expressed deep frustration and concern over the critically slow response time of the emergency services.

“It has been more than an hour, the ambulance has not arrived,” she stated in the video. She later confirmed that the ambulance eventually reached the spot nearly an hour and a half after the accident had occurred. Expressing her agony at the loss of life caused by the delay, she grimly estimated, “There were 12-13 people. I think now only two or three people would be alive.”

The Bystander Effect and a Call for Action

Beyond the delay, Khushboo also pointed out a disturbing trend among the crowds gathered at the site. She criticized a group of young men for filming the horrific aftermath instead of offering assistance to the wounded.

“As an Indian citizen, this priority of filming first is absolutely wrong,” she emphasized, urging people to overcome the fear of legal complications and step up as Good Samaritans. Her action has sparked a vital conversation on the need for both systemic improvements in emergency response and increased public responsibility in crisis situations.

The incident serves as a stark reminder of the urgent necessity for faster ambulance services on national highways. Khushboo Patani’s timely, hands-on intervention saved lives, but her powerful video puts the spotlight squarely on the administrative failures that continue to cost lives on India’s roads.
