On Thursday, Priyanka and her husband, Nikhil, visited Fun N Food Water & Amusement Park in Southwest Delhi’s Kapashera. The couple decided to go on a roller coaster ride, but Nikhil was hesitant.

“Nikhil said he was scared and asked the operator to ensure they would be safe. The operator assured him, saying he had been running the ride for 18 years. When the ride started, Nikhil closed his eyes for 10-15 seconds. Suddenly, he heard screams… when he opened his eyes, Priyanka had fallen off the roller coaster,” said Geetanjali, who is Priyanka's sister.

Priyanka suffered severe injuries from the fall and was rushed to Manipal Hospital, where doctors declared her dead on arrival. According to the medico-legal case (MLC) report provided to the police, her body had multiple injuries, including a lacerated wound on her right leg, a puncture wound on her left leg, and abrasions on her right forearm and left knee.

Nikhil informed the police that he and Priyanka had gotten engaged in February 2025 and visited Fun N Food Village on Thursday evening. Around 6:15 pm, they boarded a roller coaster ride.

The police have registered an FIR under Sections 289 (negligent conduct with respect to machinery) and 106 (culpable homicide not amounting to murder by negligence) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). A post-mortem examination was conducted, and Priyanka's body has been handed over to her family, officials confirmed.

Priyanka, a resident of Chanakyapuri, Delhi, worked as a manager at a telecom company in Sector 3, Noida. She and Nikhil were set to marry in February next year. A further investigation is ongoing to determine the exact sequence of events leading to the tragic accident.
