<p dir="ltr">A video of a youth performing dangerous bike stunts on National Highway 30 in Rewa district has gone viral on social media, drawing sharp criticism from locals and prompting police action.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The clip, which surfaced on Saturday, shows a young man identified as Vipin riding a sports bike in a reckless manner on the busy highway. At one point, he is seen standing on the moving motorcycle, and at another, he lifts the front wheel off the ground while speeding down the road.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Dangerous Antics on Busy Highway</strong></p>
<p dir="ltr">The stunts were performed on a stretch of NH-30 that witnesses heavy traffic throughout the day, including trucks, cars and other two-wheelers. Local residents expressed concern that a minor miscalculation or loss of balance could have resulted in a serious accident, endangering not just the rider but other commuters as well.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The video shows the youth riding without a helmet and performing stunts as if the highway were an empty stretch, despite the presence of other vehicles in close proximity.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Social Media Fame at What Cost?</strong></p>
<p dir="ltr">According to locals, such stunt riding has become increasingly common in Rewa district. Young men are putting their lives and the lives of others at risk in pursuit of social media popularity, more followers and viral content.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The race for likes, views and online fame is leading to blatant violations of traffic rules, with riders openly flouting safety norms. Riding without helmets, overspeeding and careless driving have become routine challenges to road safety in the area.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>A Recurring Problem</strong></p>
<p dir="ltr">This is not the first time such an incident has come to light in Rewa. Earlier, a video of dangerous stunts inside the Mohniya Tunnel had also gone viral, shocking residents and authorities alike. The tunnel, like the highway, is a busy thoroughfare where such stunts pose a significant risk to public safety.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Despite the earlier incident, authorities have been unable to effectively curb such activities.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Police Launch Investigation</strong></p>
<p dir="ltr">Additional Superintendent of Police Sandeep Mishra confirmed that the matter had come to the notice of police through social media.</p>
<p dir="ltr">"The concerned youth is being identified," Mishra said. "Strict action will be taken against those who violate traffic rules and perform stunts on public roads."</p>
<p dir="ltr">He added that such negligence would not be tolerated and that legal action would be ensured against those endangering public safety.</p>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[<a href="https://english.dainikjagranmpcg.com/states/chhattisgarh/class-9-student-crushed-on-way-to-school/article-19299"><img src="https://english.dainikjagranmpcg.com/media/400/2026-05/raipur-school-boy-dies-after-water-tanker-runs-him-over.jpg" alt=""></a><br /><p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Disturbing CCTV shows boy rising after being run over, only to collapse moments later</strong></p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify;">A 15-year-old student was killed after a speeding water tanker ran him over in the state capital on Tuesday morning. The incident, which has sparked outrage, occurred near the Saddu school area under the Assembly police station limits.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify;">The victim, identified as Mahavir Sharma, was a resident of LIG Sector-1 in Saddu. He was walking along the roadside with his school bag slung over his shoulder when the tanker hit him from behind. Officials said the driver did not stop and fled the scene immediately after the accident.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify;">CCTV Shows Unbearable Turn of Events</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify;">A CCTV camera installed in the vicinity captured the entire sequence. In a turn of events that has left even seasoned investigators shaken, the footage shows Mahavir standing up on his feet moments after the tanker’s rear wheels ran over him.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify;">Sources familiar with the matter said the boy appeared to be in shock, trying to get up, but collapsed again seconds later due to the severity of his internal injuries. He was declared dead by the time locals rushed him to a nearby clinic.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify;">Police Launch Manhunt for Absconding Driver</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify;">Police have identified the tanker driver, who remains on the run. Multiple teams have been formed to trace him, and his possible escape routes are being scrutinised.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify;">“We have registered a case of negligent driving and hit-and-run. The vehicle details are with us, and the accused will be arrested soon,” a senior officer said, requesting anonymity as he is not authorised to speak to the media.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify;">A Mysterious Bike Rider Enters the Frame</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify;">As investigators sifted through more footage from the area, a new detail emerged. A motorcycle rider, whose identity is still unknown, was passing by at the exact moment of the crash.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify;">Initial reports indicate the rider may have swerved slightly, causing the student to step unexpectedly into the path of the tanker. However, police have not ruled out overspeeding by the heavy vehicle as the primary cause. “It is a line of inquiry. The biker was the first person to stop and check on the boy after the accident,” an official added.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify;">Locals Demand Action on Reckless Driving</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify;">The morning’s tragedy has brought residents of the Saddu area onto the streets, demanding better traffic regulation. Locals complained that water tankers and heavy vehicles often speed through the narrow arterial roads during peak hours.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify;">“This is not a highway. These vehicles treat every road like a racetrack. How long before another child dies?” asked a neighbour who rushed to the spot after hearing the commotion.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify;">Mahavir was reportedly a student of a local school and the only son of his parents. His body was handed over to the family after a post-mortem examination late Tuesday evening.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify;">Police continue to analyse additional CCTV footage from nearby commercial establishments. The search for the missing driver is ongoing.</p>

<p dir="ltr">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.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Chilling CCTV Footage Emerges</p>
<p dir="ltr">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.</p>
<p dir="ltr">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.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Uncontrolled Vehicle from Front</p>
<p dir="ltr">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.</p>
<p dir="ltr">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.</p>
<p dir="ltr">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.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Injuries and Medical Update</p>
<p dir="ltr">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.</p>
<p dir="ltr">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.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Police Launch Search for Driver</p>
<p dir="ltr">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.</p>
<p dir="ltr">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.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Rising Concern Over Road Safety</p>
<p dir="ltr">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.</p>
<p dir="ltr">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.</p>
<p dir="ltr">What Lies Ahead</p>
<p dir="ltr">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.</p>
<p dir="ltr">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.</p>
<p dir="ltr">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.</p>

<h4 dir="ltr">A 55-year-old farmer died after his scooter was hit by a speeding unidentified vehicle on Dorar Road in Gwalior's Mohna area early Tuesday morning.</h4>
<h3 dir="ltr">Tragedy on Dorar Road</h3>
<p dir="ltr">A festive return turned into a tragedy in the early hours of Tuesday when a 55-year-old farmer was killed in a hit-and-run accident in Gwalior’s Mohna police station jurisdiction. The victim, identified as Gandharv Singh Rawat, a resident of Kaimari, was heading home after attending a relative's wedding when a speeding vehicle rammed into his scooter from behind.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The impact was so severe that the scooter was reduced to a heap of metal, and Rawat was thrown several feet into the air before landing on the asphalt. The incident occurred around 3:30 AM near the Quality Dhaba stretch on Dorar Road.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Driver Flees the Scene</h3>
<p dir="ltr">According to local witnesses and initial police findings, the offending vehicle was being driven at a high speed. Immediately after the collision, the driver chose to speed away from the spot rather than providing assistance to the victim.</p>
<p dir="ltr">A police team reached the location shortly after receiving information about a man lying injured on the road. At that time, Rawat was still breathing, showing a faint pulse, prompting an emergency rush to the nearest medical facility.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Died En Route to Hospital</h3>
<p dir="ltr">While the police acted swiftly to transport the injured farmer to the hospital, his condition deteriorated rapidly. Medical professionals confirmed that Rawat succumbed to his injuries while in transit. Upon arrival at the hospital, doctors officially declared him brought dead.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The body has since been shifted to the mortuary for a post-mortem examination. The news of the death has cast a pall of gloom over Kaimari village, where Rawat was a well-known member of the farming community.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Police Launch Search Operation</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Mohna Police Station In-charge, Rashid Khan, confirmed that a case has been registered against the unknown driver under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) for rash and negligent driving causing death.</p>
<p dir="ltr">"The farmer was returning from a wedding when he was hit by an unidentified vehicle. We are currently scanning CCTV footage from nearby dhabas and petrol pumps along the highway to identify the vehicle involved," Khan stated.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Rising Highway Safety Concerns</h3>
<p dir="ltr">This latest Gwalior hit-and-run case has once again highlighted the dangers of speeding on the city's outskirts during late-night and early-morning hours. Dorar Road, which connects several rural pockets to the main highway, often sees heavy commercial vehicle movement, leading to frequent accidents involving two-wheelers.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Focus on Offender’s Arrest</h3>
<p dir="ltr">The police have formed a small team to track the movement of vehicles passing through the Mohna-Dorar stretch between 3:00 AM and 4:00 AM. Authorities are hopeful that a breakthrough will be made soon, as several eyewitnesses at nearby eateries have provided vague descriptions of a heavy vehicle moving erratically around the time of the crash.</p>

<p dir="ltr">Balodabazar road accident shocked Chhattisgarh on Wednesday after two on-duty constables lost their lives in a tragic collision involving a speeding trailer. The fatal crash occurred under the Hathband police station limits in Balodabazar district, highlighting growing concerns around heavy vehicle safety and traffic discipline in the region.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The victims have been identified as Constable Dharmendra Yadav (35) and Constable Prashantdhar Diwan (35), both posted in different units but traveling together for official duty at the time of the incident.</p>
<p dir="ltr">How the Accident Happened</p>
<p dir="ltr">According to police officials, the two constables were heading towards Balodabazar on a motorcycle around 11 am. The accident took place on the Udela–Pausari Road when a trailer coming from behind reportedly took a sudden turn at high speed.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Key details of the incident:</p>
<p dir="ltr"> The trailer allegedly made an abrupt turn.</p>
<p dir="ltr"> The motorcycle collided with the heavy vehicle.</p>
<p dir="ltr"> Both constables fell and came under the trailer’s rear wheel.</p>
<p dir="ltr"> The trailer continued moving, severely damaging the bike.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The Balodabazar road accident resulted in the immediate death of Constable Dharmendra Yadav at the scene. Constable Prashantdhar Diwan was critically injured and rushed to a nearby hospital.</p>
<p dir="ltr">One Dies on the Spot, Another During Transfer</p>
<p dir="ltr">While Dharmendra Yadav succumbed instantly due to severe injuries, Prashantdhar Diwan was given primary treatment locally. Doctors later referred him to Raipur for advanced medical care. However, he passed away near Dharseeva while being transported in an ambulance.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The bodies were later sent for postmortem and handed over to their families.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Dharmendra Yadav, a resident of Parsabod village in Bemetara district, was posted in the cyber cell. Prashantdhar Diwan, originally from Nawagarh in Bemetara, was serving at Hathband police station.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Accused Driver Arrested</p>
<p dir="ltr">Police have arrested the trailer driver, identified as Kunjbihari, and seized the vehicle. A case has been registered, and further investigation is underway to determine whether overspeeding or negligence directly led to the fatal collision.</p>
<p dir="ltr">DSP Prem Lal Sahu confirmed that both constables were on official duty related to investigative work at the time of the accident.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Authorities are also examining:</p>
<p dir="ltr"> Vehicle speed and braking patterns</p>
<p dir="ltr"> Road conditions</p>
<p dir="ltr"> Possible violation of traffic rules</p>
<p dir="ltr">Rising Road Safety Concerns in Chhattisgarh</p>
<p dir="ltr">The Chhattisgarh accident news has once again drawn attention to increasing road mishaps involving heavy vehicles. Experts say sudden turns, overspeeding, and lack of strict lane discipline often lead to deadly outcomes, especially for two-wheeler riders.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Road safety analysts emphasize:</p>
<p dir="ltr"> Strict enforcement of speed regulations for heavy vehicles</p>
<p dir="ltr"> Better monitoring through highway patrol units</p>
<p dir="ltr"> Awareness programs for defensive riding</p>
<p dir="ltr">With several recent incidents involving trailer bike collisions, authorities may consider intensified traffic checks in high-risk zones.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Why This Incident Matters Now</p>
<p dir="ltr">This tragic Balodabazar road accident comes at a time when road safety remains a major public concern across India. According to transport safety experts, accidents involving heavy commercial vehicles tend to result in higher fatality rates due to their size and weight.</p>
<p dir="ltr">For the police department, the loss of two serving constables has deeply impacted the force. Colleagues described them as dedicated officers committed to their duty.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The death of two on-duty constables in Balodabazar is a grim reminder of the urgent need for stricter traffic enforcement and responsible driving. As investigations continue, the focus remains on accountability and preventive measures to ensure such tragedies do not repeat.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The district administration is expected to review safety protocols in the coming days, while families and colleagues mourn the untimely loss of two brave officers.</p>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[<a href="https://english.dainikjagranmpcg.com/states/madhya-pradesh/-mbbs-student-killed-in-ujjain-road-accident-protests-erupt/article-14725"><img src="https://english.dainikjagranmpcg.com/media/400/2026-02/mbbs-student-killed-in-ujjain-road-accident-protests-erupt-outside-rd-gardi-medical-college-over-safety-concerns.jpg" alt=""></a><br /><p dir="ltr">A tragic road accident in Ujjain has sparked outrage among medical students after an MBBS student killed in Ujjain road accident near the gate of RD Gardi Medical College on Saturday morning. The victim, 20-year-old Harshit Mehra, a second-year MBBS student, lost his life after being hit by a speeding truck on Agar Road.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The incident has once again raised serious questions about Ujjain road safety and the lack of traffic control measures near educational institutions.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Fatal Accident Near College Gate</p>
<p dir="ltr">According to police reports, Harshit was entering the college premises from his hostel when a speeding truck rammed into him near the main gate on Agar Road. He sustained severe injuries and died on the spot.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Eyewitnesses said the truck driver abandoned the vehicle immediately after the accident and fled the scene. Police teams from Chimanganj Police Station reached the spot shortly after receiving information.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Officials confirmed that efforts are underway to trace and arrest the accused driver. A case has been registered, and further investigation is in progress.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Students Block Agar Road, Demand Immediate Safety Measures</p>
<p dir="ltr">Following the tragic incident, angry students staged a student protest on Agar Road, blocking traffic for nearly an hour. The road blockade caused long traffic jams, with vehicles lined up on both sides.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Students demanded:</p>
<p dir="ltr"> Installation of speed breakers near the college gate</p>
<p dir="ltr"> Deployment of traffic police during peak hours</p>
<p dir="ltr"> Strict monitoring of heavy vehicles passing through the area</p>
<p dir="ltr"> Permanent traffic control systems to prevent future accidents</p>
<p dir="ltr">Many students alleged that several minor accidents had occurred earlier due to speeding vehicles, but authorities failed to implement lasting safety solutions.</p>
<p dir="ltr">CSP Pushpa Prajapati and Chimanganj police station in-charge Gajendra Pancharia addressed the protesting students and assured them that necessary road safety arrangements would be implemented soon. After receiving official assurance, the students withdrew their protest.</p>
<p dir="ltr">A Bright Student With Big Dreams</p>
<p dir="ltr">Harshit Mehra was originally from Indore and was the only son in his family. His father had passed away earlier, and his mother works as a mehendi designer.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Faculty members described him as a brilliant and multi-talented student. Dr. Ruchi Mishra from the Physiotherapy Department shared that Harshit excelled not only in academics but also in music. He had won multiple awards during the college’s recent Silver Jubilee celebrations.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“He was disciplined, talented, and deeply passionate about medicine,” a faculty member said.</p>
<p dir="ltr"> Why This Incident Matters Now</p>
<p dir="ltr">The MBBS student killed in Ujjain road accident highlights a larger issue of road safety near schools and colleges across Madhya Pradesh. With increasing traffic flow and heavy vehicle movement, educational institutions located along busy highways remain vulnerable zones.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Experts emphasize that immediate infrastructure upgrades such as speed-calming measures, zebra crossings, warning signage, and CCTV monitoring can significantly reduce accident risks.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Urban safety planners suggest:</p>
<p dir="ltr"> Conducting a road safety audit around campuses</p>
<p dir="ltr"> Restricting heavy vehicle movement during peak student hours</p>
<p dir="ltr"> Installing rumble strips and reflective signboards</p>
<p dir="ltr">As investigations continue, the tragic loss of a young medical student has left the campus community grieving. The focus now shifts to whether authorities will act swiftly to prevent another life from being lost on the same stretch of road.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The coming days will determine if this heartbreaking incident leads to meaningful and lasting change in Ujjain’s traffic safety framework.</p>
