Eighteen-year-old Divit Auluck, the son of Speed Records owner Dinesh Auluck and nephew of musician Yo Yo Honey Singh, died in a road accident in Jalandhar on November 1. His friend Aarav Talwar also lost his life in the same car crash, with Punjab Police confirming both fatalities shortly after arriving at the scene.

The tragic event has sent shockwaves through the Punjabi music industry, where Dinesh Auluck is a prominent figure as the founder and head of Speed Records. Divit Auluck was just 18 years old at the time of the crash.

iPhone Crash Detection Alert Sent to Family

Within moments of the impact in Jalandhar, an automated iPhone Crash Detection alert dispatched Divit Auluck’s exact location directly to his mother’s smartphone. The crash detection feature on modern Apple devices utilizes hardware sensors to detect sudden, high-g forces typical of severe car accidents. When a collision occurs, the device prompts the user and, if unanswered, sends emergency notifications along with location data to designated family contacts.

The news forced rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh to immediately abandon his ongoing professional schedule in Dubai. The artist rushed back to India and traveled straight to Jalandhar to join his family. Video recordings captured the moment Honey Singh stepped out of his car outside his brother’s home, breaking down in tears before wrapping his arms around a grieving Dinesh Auluck.

Honey Singh had previously confirmed the tragic news to his followers through a tearful Instagram Story post. In the social media message, the rapper expressed deep sorrow over his nephew’s sudden death, writing that it marked a “dark decade” for him and asking for “Mehr” to guide the family through the loss.
