 The bodies reached their village, Alampur Thikriya, early Sunday morning, where the family and villagers bid farewell in a single funeral procession.

The deceased were identified as Jagdish (32), his wife Pooja (30), and their daughter Tina (12). The family had gone to Rajasthan along with 12 others from their village seeking work before Diwali. The accident occurred late Friday night when a truck trailer rammed into their tempo from behind, killing four people, including the driver from Phalodi.

Local MLA Dr. Rajendra Pandey, SDM Sunil Jaiswal, and other officials, including BJP district secretary Mahesh Soni, attended the funeral and consoled the grieving families.

Jagdish and Pooja’s two children, Ashok (8) and Roshni (8), were also in the tempo. Both survived with injuries but lost their parents in the crash. Another victim, Tina, was traveling with her parents Lalsingh and Suganbai, who now mourn the loss of their only daughter.
