Police identified the industrialist as Kuber Group director Vikas Malu, who was among three people in a Rolls Royce that was estimated to be travelling at a speed of 200kmph when it crashed into the tanker at a spot on the expressway within Nuh district limits.
"We have registered the case against the driver of the luxury car but yet to confirm who was behind the wheels since all the occupants are undergoing treatment and have been declared unfit to record the statements," said Narender Bijarniya, superintendent of police, Nuh.
The Kuber Group management did not respond to HT's queries for a comment.
Eyewitnesses said that following the crash, people from other vehicles that were travelling with Malu caught up and pulled out the occupants of the Rolls Royce, which caught fire within moments. The collision was such that the tanker overturned, although the diesel it was carrying did not ignite.
Previously, the crash was believed to have been caused by the driver of the tanker, who was said to have driven the wrong way but CCTV footage later showed both vehicles were headed in the same direction away from Gurugram.
