जयपुर में बड़ा हादसा, CM काफिले के दौरान अफरा-तफरी, बेकाबू बस ने 8 कारों को मारी टक्कर
A major road accident occurred in Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan, just before Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma’s convoy was scheduled to pass through. In the Harmada area of Sikar Road, while traffic had been halted, a speeding sleeper bus plowed into a line of stationary vehicles. In the ensuing crash, the bus rear-ended eight cars in succession. Several vehicles sustained severe damage, while one car was forced up onto the road divider. Following the accident, the scene was engulfed in screams and chaos.
According to reports, traffic was stopped near Suncity on Sikar Road around 6:15 PM to facilitate the safe passage of the Chief Minister’s convoy. A long queue of vehicles had formed on the road. At that moment, a private sleeper bus traveling from Jaipur toward Sikar approached at high speed and crashed into the stationary vehicles from behind. According to eyewitnesses, the bus was traveling at such high speed that upon impact, several vehicles were dragged forward.
Police Rescue People Trapped in Cars
Following the accident, several people found themselves trapped inside their cars. The Harmada Police Station unit of the Rajasthan Police, aided by local residents, immediately launched a rescue operation. After a strenuous effort, six people trapped inside the damaged vehicles were successfully extracted.
The rear section of one taxi was completely crushed. To rescue a woman and a young man trapped inside, police personnel had to kick open the rear door. The injured young man was severely pinned between the seats and had sustained a serious head injury. Police personnel immediately rushed him to a private hospital.
Family Was Heading for Darshan at Khatu Shyamji
Aman Jain, a resident of Rampura in Sanganer who was injured in the accident, was traveling with his wife Priyanshi Jain, his mother-in-law Rekha Jain, and his uncle-in-law Rajesh to offer prayers (Darshan) at Khatu Shyamji. Following the accident, all four were admitted to CKS Hospital. Rekha Jain and Priyanshi Jain underwent CT scans, while the critically injured Aman Jain was subsequently referred to SMS Hospital.
The police investigation revealed that the accident was caused by a brake failure on the bus. A private sleeper bus, carrying passengers from Ahmedabad, had set out for Darshan (pilgrimage) at Khatu Shyamji and was scheduled to proceed to Haridwar thereafter. Following the accident, the bus driver fled the scene. The police have impounded the bus and have launched a search for the driver.

Fortunately, Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma’s convoy had passed the accident site just minutes before the mishap occurred. Following the incident, a massive traffic jam ensued on Sikar Road, and vehicular movement remained disrupted for a considerable period. Meanwhile, the passengers aboard the bus were sent onward in another vehicle.
