Assistant Sub Inspector Dies and Six Injured in Collision with Rajasthan CM Bhajanlal Sharma's Convoy

An assistant sub-inspector of the traffic police lost his life, and six others sustained injuries when two vehicles in Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma's convoy were involved in an accident in Jagatpura on Wednesday. The incident occurred as Sharma was en route to a Laghu Udyog Bharti event, where Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar was the chief guest.

According to Ramnagaria Police Station SHO Arun Kumar, the convoy was travelling on Jagatpura road when a car approached from the wrong direction and collided with an escort vehicle. Another vehicle in the convoy was also impacted. The collision resulted in injuries to five policemen and two civilians.

Accident Details and Immediate Response

The injured individuals were promptly taken to various hospitals for treatment. ASI Surendra Singh, who was managing traffic at the intersection, succumbed to a severe head injury during medical care. Despite being signalled by Singh, a taxi did not stop and entered the road from the wrong side, leading to the collision with the escort vehicle.

Chief Minister Sharma halted his journey to assist a critically injured person by transporting them to the hospital in his car. He later visited the injured individuals to check on their condition and decided not to attend the scheduled programme.

Injured Individuals and Official Actions

The accident resulted in injuries to four police personnel: ACP Traffic Aamir Hassan, constables Balwan Singh, Rajendra Singh, and Devendra Singh. Additionally, two civilians, Pavan Kumar and Amit Kumar Aulia, were hurt. A case has been filed at Ramnagaria Police Station regarding this incident.

Chief Minister Sharma expressed his sorrow over ASI Surendra Singh's death and extended condolences. "The death of Assistant Sub-Inspector ASI Shri Surendra Ji and injuries to other citizens in an unfortunate vehicle accident in Jaipur today is extremely sad," he stated. He assured that the government stands with the families affected by this tragedy.

Government's Assurance and Investigation

In response to this tragic event, Chief Minister Sharma has instructed officials to ensure that all injured individuals receive appropriate medical care. The government has pledged support for both the deceased's family and those injured in the accident.
