Road rage turns fatal in Bhilwara: Man beaten to death over minor collision
JAIPUR: A man was brutally beaten to death by a group of 8-10 people after a minor collision between a car and a handcart in Rajasthan's Bhilwara district on Friday evening. According to the local police, the incident occurred in the Jahazpur area, where four men Sitaram, Sikandar, Dilkhush, and Deepak were returning home after attending a social function. Just a short distance from home, their car allegedly touched a handcart. An argument broke out, during which the handcart operator, along with 8-10 of his associates, dragged 25-year old Sitaram out of the vehicle through the window and assaulted him mercilessly. Despite efforts by his three companions to intervene, the attackers did not stop. Sitaram, a 25-year old young man, finally succumbed to his injuries on the spot. In the immediate aftermath, police brought the three other car occupants to the local police station. They were reportedly released after senior officers arrived at the station. Family members of the victims also reached the station, demanding action. With the victim being a Hindu and the handcart owner who attacked being a Muslim, tension soon escalated. A heavy police force from ten nearby police stations was deployed in the area late at night. The body of the deceased has been kept at the hospital mortuary, and a large crowd has gathered outside the hospital. Police have arrested one accused, identified as Sharif, a resident of the area and the owner of the handcart. A search is underway to locate other suspects involved in the attack. Local MLA Gopiram Meena, along with Superintendent of Police and other senior officials, visited the spot. The atmosphere remains tense, and heavy security has been deployed to prevent any untoward incident. As tensions remain high, the local police has prohibited any Taziya processions being carried out in the area on July 5th and 6th.

BHOPAL: A 50-year-old man from Uttar Pradesh allegedly died when a tent collapsed amid heavy rains and blustery winds at the famous Lord Hanuman shrine, Bageshwar Dham, in Chhatarpur district of Madhya Pradesh early on Thursday morning. The incident, which also left seven devotees injured, most of them from outside Madhya Pradesh, including Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan, occurred during preparations for the Friday birthday celebrations of the shrines Peethadhishwar and Hindu Rashtra-supporter, religious preacher Dhirendra Krishna Shastri, also known as Bageshwar Dham Sarkar. The mishap happened on Thursday morning amid continuous heavy rains coupled with blustery winds, leading to the collapse of the tent.

Some other devotees, mostly from outside MP, suffered injuries, but all are out of danger. An autopsy of the deceased man, who hails from UP, is being conducted, Jain said. The deceased man has been identified as Shyamlal Kaushal (50), a native of Chauri village in Basti district. He was part of a six-member family that had arrived from eastern Uttar Pradesh on Wednesday night to take part in the birthday celebrations of the temples Peethadhishwar, Dhirendra Krishna Shastri.

According to eyewitnesses, including Aryan Kamlapuri (a neighbour of the bereaved family), the tent allegedly collapsed due to heavy rains and strong winds, which inundated the area with water.

High-speed tanker crash sparks massive fire on Rajasthan's Bhilwara-Kota highway, one burnt alive
JAIPUR: A devastating accident early on Friday morning near the Ladpura intersection on the Bhilwara-Kota highway resulted in a massive fire, reducing four tankers to ashes. A speeding tanker lost control and crashed into three stationary tankers, triggering a chain of explosions. The intensity of the impact was so severe that all four vehicles were engulfed in flames within moments. Tragically, one driver was trapped inside his truck and perished in the blaze. As soon as authorities were alerted, a police team led by trainee IPS officer Jatin Jain and Bigod police station in-charge Jai Sultan rushed to the accident site. Fire brigade teams battled the raging inferno, with local villagers also stepping in to assist. Eyewitnesses reported that four tankers were lined up near the Ladpura intersection when the speeding tanker rammed into one of them. The impact caused an immediate explosion, and the flames spread rapidly to the other three vehicles. The fire was so intense that one of the drivers had no time to escape and was burned alive inside his truck. The deceased has been identified as Shambhulal Dhakad, a resident of Phoolji Kheda. His body has been moved to the Mandalgarh Hospital mortuary, where a post-mortem will be conducted after his family arrives. The fire triggered panic at the accident site and caused major traffic disruptions on the highway. Vehicles were stuck in long queues on both sides as firefighters worked tirelessly to contain the blaze. It took nearly an hour to fully extinguish the flames. Once the situation was under control, the police cleared the congestion and restored normal traffic flow. Authorities are investigating the incident to determine the exact cause of the crash. Further action will be taken based on their findings.
