He was rescued by other motorists and admitted at Government Medical College Hospital in Vellore, where doctors declared that he was brought dead. A case was registered by Vellore South police.

In a separate incident, Kareem was riding his two-wheeler to his office in Shenbakkam when an unidentified vehicle hit him. He died on the spot. Based on an alert from residents, the Vellore North police rushed to the spot and a case was registered. Further probe is under way.
