BJP’s Charkhari MLA Brijbhushan Rajput narrowly escaped a collision when his escort vehicle was struck by a fast-moving truck carrying bananas in Mahoba, Uttar Pradesh. Although the legislator remained unharmed, his official gunner, security guard, and driver sustained injuries during the incident. The impact caused significant damage to the MLA’s escort vehicle, a Scorpio.
The accident occurred close to the Sankat Mochan Temple within the Kharela police station’s jurisdiction. Reportedly, the truck, traveling at high speed, crashed into the BJP MLA’s convoy before attempting to flee the scene. However, local residents intervened, apprehended the driver, and prevented his escape.
Driver Ravikant Mishra’s quick thinking played a crucial role in averting a potentially fatal outcome. Mishra managed to steer the MLA’s vehicle off the road and into a roadside ditch just moments before the truck collided with the convoy, ensuring that Brijbhushan Rajput avoided a direct impact.
Following the incident, bystanders gathered at the location and detained the truck driver as he tried to run away. Law enforcement officers from Kharela police station arrived promptly, took the driver into custody, and initiated legal proceedings. Despite the collision, MLA Brijbhushan Rajput emerged unscathed, while his official gunner, security guard, and driver sustained injuries, and the escort vehicle suffered extensive damage. Police have detained the truck driver for further investigation into the circumstances surrounding the accident, with subsequent actions dependent on the inquiry’s results.
