Families of three individuals, including an uncle and his nephew, are protesting in Rajasthan’s Karauli district. The victims were electrocuted when a high-tension power line fell on the road, causing their motorcycle to catch fire, resulting in their tragic deaths. The families have been demanding compensation for the loss for the past 18 hours.
The deceased have been identified as Rambabu (45), Vishnu (22), and Chaube Jatav (44), all residents of Akhada village. They were daily wage laborers returning home on a motorcycle when the accident occurred near the Bhopar River. The motorcycle came into contact with the live wire, leading to the fatal electrocution of all three individuals.
The incident, which took place around 5 p.m., involved Vishnu’s uncle, Chaube Jatav, and their neighbor, Rambabu. Following the tragedy, the families and villagers have refused to allow the bodies to be moved for post-mortem. They are demanding Rs 50 lakh compensation for each victim and a government job for one family member from each affected household.
Todabhim MLA Ghanshyam Mahar and Hindaun MLA Aneet Jatav have visited the protest site to show support to the grieving families. Despite negotiations led by SDM Aman Chaudhary, the families are adamant about their demands for compensation and employment assurance from the administration. The protest is ongoing with heavy police presence to maintain order.
