Four young men from Bhimkundi village tragically lost their lives in a road accident in Dindori district, Madhya Pradesh. The incident occurred when the tractor-trolley they were traveling in overturned into a deep pit while en route to collect road metal from a neighboring village.
The accident took place early in the morning under the Karan Pathar police station locality. The driver, identified as Ankush Uike, lost control of the steering while navigating a sharp turn, causing the heavily loaded tractor-trolley to veer off the road and fall into the pit where earth was being excavated.
All four occupants, including the driver, were trapped under the overturned trolley and sustained fatal injuries. The deceased have been identified as Ankush Uike, Brajesh Pendo, Ravindra Kumar, and Chandra Prakash Marko, who were close friends and residents of Bhimkundi village.
Rescue operations were initiated, and the bodies were extricated with the help of an earthmoving machine. The bodies were then moved to a nearby hospital for post-mortem examination. Authorities are investigating the incident to determine the cause, including examining the possibility of mechanical faults in the tractor or overloading.
Senior police officials visited the site to offer condolences to the grieving families. The tragic incident has deeply affected the communities of Bhimkundi and nearby areas, with relatives and villagers gathering to support the families of the deceased.
