Rewa-Sidhi highway’s longest tunnel becomes stage for reckless act; authorities begin identification process.

A disturbing display of recklessness has emerged from Madhya Pradesh’s longest tunnel, where a bike rider was filmed pulling off a life-threatening stunt. The young man, standing upright on a moving motorcycle, weaved dangerously between heavy trucks inside the Mohania Tunnel on the Rewa-Sidhi highway. The incident, which took place in the last 48 hours, has not only shocked local commuters but has also prompted a swift response from the police.

Deadly Stunt Inside Longest Tunnel

The video, now circulating widely, shows the rider balancing himself while standing on the seat of a speeding bike. What makes the act particularly alarming is the location—the confined, echoing space of the tunnel where visibility is often reduced and heavy vehicle movement is constant. The biker can be seen squeezing past large trucks with minimal clearance, a maneuver that could have easily turned fatal for him or other drivers. According to initial reports, the tunnel sees a steady stream of traffic, including fully loaded cargo carriers, making the stunt even more perilous.

Local Outrage Over Repeat Offences

The incident has ignited anger among residents who use the Rewa-Sidhi route regularly. Locals pointed out that this is not an isolated case of stunt biking on this stretch. “Such acts have happened before, but this time it was inside the tunnel, which is even more dangerous. If a truck had swerved even slightly, there would have been a major accident,” a local shopkeeper said, expressing a common sentiment. The public is now demanding that the administration take strong, visible action to prevent such copycat behaviour and improve overall road safety.

Police Investigation Underway

Sources familiar with the matter confirmed that police teams have begun scanning the video and traffic camera footage to identify the biker. While no formal complaint has been filed yet, local authorities have taken suo motu cognisance of the act. “We are actively working to trace the individual. Reckless stunts like these endanger public life. Once identified, strict legal action will be taken under the Motor Vehicles Act,” an official stated. The police have also indicated they may look into whether the bike’s registration plate is visible in any of the footage to speed up the process.

Concerns Over Road Safety Culture

The Mohania Tunnel, known for its engineering significance in the region, has become an unlikely spot for thrill-seeking. According to road safety experts, performing stunts on public roads, especially in high-risk zones like tunnels, shows a blatant disregard for the law. The incident raises questions about whether patrolling is adequate during late evening hours when traffic density varies. Officials, however, maintain that regular checks are in place and that the upcoming action against the stuntman will serve as a deterrent.

Next Steps: Identification and Penalty

Police have assured that the focus remains on identifying the youth seen in the video. Once caught, he will likely face charges for rash driving and endangering the lives of others. Authorities have also appealed to citizens to report any similar instances immediately rather than just recording them. The message from the local administration is clear: public roads are not racing circuits, and stunts will be met with zero tolerance.

Tractor Crushes Elderly Biker in Satna, Driver Flees Scene

Satna tractor accident leaves 61-year-old with broken ribs after vehicle drags him under its wheels in Sindhi Camp; CCTV captures the horrific sequence as police hunt for the runaway driver.

Chilling CCTV Footage Emerges

A shocking road accident in Satna has once again highlighted the dangers of reckless driving on city roads. On Wednesday afternoon, a speeding and uncontrolled tractor slammed into a motorbike rider, dragging the elderly man along before its wheels ran over him. The entire incident was captured on CCTV, showing the victim helplessly waving for help while trapped.

Locals who gathered at the spot pulled the injured man out from under the tractor. He was immediately rushed to Birla Hospital, where doctors say he is now out of danger despite sustaining serious injuries.

Uncontrolled Vehicle from Front

The accident occurred in the Sindhi Camp area under Kolgaon police station limits. The victim, identified as 61-year-old Rajkaran Kewat, a resident of Gram Mand Mohanna, was riding his Pulsar motorcycle (MP19 MF 1463) when the tractor came hurtling towards him from the opposite direction.

Eyewitnesses said Kewat tried to move his bike to the side upon seeing the approaching tractor lose control. However, the vehicle hit him directly, dragging both the rider and the bike towards a nearby shop's stairs. The tractor's front and rear wheels passed over his chest area before the vehicle finally stopped after colliding with the steps.

Kewat remained pinned between the rear tyre and the concrete stairs for several moments. In the disturbing video, he can be seen desperately gesturing with his hands, appealing to onlookers for immediate help. The tractor driver, instead of stopping to assist, abandoned the vehicle and fled the scene.

Injuries and Medical Update

Doctors at Birla Hospital confirmed that Rajkaran Kewat suffered multiple rib fractures. He was admitted to the post-operative ward for observation and treatment. Despite the severity of the impact, his condition has been described as stable and out of danger.

Hospital sources said prompt rescue by locals and quick medical attention helped prevent a worse outcome. Family members reached the hospital soon after the incident and are attending to him.

Police Launch Search for Driver

Kolgaon TI Sudip Soni confirmed that a case has been registered and teams are actively searching for the tractor driver. "We are looking for the accused tractor operator. Further legal action will be taken once the medico-legal case (MLC) report is available," the officer stated.

Police are examining the CCTV footage closely to identify the vehicle and its driver. The tractor has been seized from the spot for forensic examination. Authorities have appealed to anyone with additional information about the driver to come forward.

Rising Concern Over Road Safety

This incident comes amid growing worries about road safety in Satna and surrounding areas of Madhya Pradesh. Uncontrolled heavy vehicles, especially tractors used for both agricultural and local transport purposes, have been involved in several accidents in recent times. Residents often complain about speeding drivers and poor enforcement of traffic rules in busy market stretches like Sindhi Camp.

The presence of multiple shops and pedestrian movement in the area makes such stretches particularly vulnerable. Locals expressed anger over the driver's callous act of fleeing, leaving the victim to suffer alone under the vehicle.

What Lies Ahead

As investigations continue, police are expected to trace the tractor's ownership details shortly. The footage, which has started circulating on local social media, is likely to play a key role in identifying and apprehending the accused.

Rajkaran Kewat's family has urged swift justice, hoping the driver is held accountable for the negligent and reckless act that nearly cost an elderly man his life.

The case serves as a grim reminder for authorities to intensify checks on heavy vehicle operators, particularly in urban pockets where two-wheelers and pedestrians share space with tractors and trucks.
