Since the reports of the accident got confirmed, several media houses started posting pictures of the accident site and an injured Rishabh Pant.

They have family and friends who were terribly affected by these images. There’s journalism and then there is plain insensitivity,” Ritika wrote.
Reports suggest that Pant is stable and will undergo treatment for multiple injuries. The 25-year-old was last seen in action during India’s recently concluded two-match Test series against Bangladesh. He had impressed with knocks of 46 and 93 in the first and second Test, respectively.
