In a tragic incident in Madhya Pradesh, a man was killed and three others were injured when a car in the convoy of Union Minister Prahlad Patel met with an accident. The minister himself sustained minor injuries.
The accident occurred while the Central Minister, who is also a candidate in the November 17 Madhya Pradesh polls, was traveling from Chhindwara to Narsinghpur. The man who lost his life in the accident has been identified as Niranjan Chandravanshi, a teacher. He was riding a bike with his two children, Nikhil Niranjan (7) and Sanskar Niranjan (10), when the accident happened.
Video footage from the accident site shows the SUV in the convoy badly damaged. The injured individuals have been referred to Nagpur for treatment, while Niranjan Chandravanshi was brought dead.
“The injured people have been referred to Nagpur, one deceased is Niranjan Chandravanshi. Total 3 persons are injured and they have been referred to Nagpur,” said Sudhir Jain, a top district official.
The injured are currently receiving treatment at a local hospital. Dr. MK Sonia, the Civil Surgeon, informed that one of the injured has a head injury, a 10-year-old child is in a serious condition, and a 17-year-old, Jatin Chandravanshi, has a fracture. All three have been referred to Nagpur for further medical attention.
