Professional car racer Ashwin Sundar, 27, and his wife Niveditha, 25, a doctor, were burnt to death as their BMW sports car, reportedly driven above permissible speed limits, caught fire after it veered around and crashed into the space between a tree and a parapet wall in the early hours of March 18.
