Tragic Incident on Orai-Rath Road: Home Guard Killed, Sub-Inspector Injured

A tragic accident occurred on the Orai-Rath road on Sunday, resulting in the death of a home guard and critically injuring a sub-inspector. The police jeep, en route from the Chikasi police station, was involved in the crash, having hit a divider before overturning.

The vehicle was driven by an officer when a motorcycle unexpectedly crossed its path near Churaha village, leading to a loss of control. This resulted in the jeep striking a road divider and overturning. Home Guard Brijendra Kumar, aged 57, and Sub-Inspector Mohit Dev, aged 35, were inside the vehicle.

Both sustained severe injuries and were immediately taken by ambulance to a community health center in Rath. Sadly, Brijendra Kumar was declared dead upon arrival. Due to the severity of his injuries, Mohit Dev was transferred to Orai Medical College for advanced medical care. Authorities, including Jariya Station House Officer Dinesh Kumar Pandey, have initiated an investigation to determine the precise cause of the accident.
