High speed car mows down bike riders

The accident occurred near the Bank of Baroda in Babuganj Market, within the Gauriganj Kotwali area. According to reports, the woman police station in-charge, Inspector Kanchan Singh, was traveling to Jais in a Tata Sumo on official business. 

The vehicle was moving at such a high speed that it had no time to manage the bike that suddenly appeared in front of it. According to eyewitnesses, the collision was so severe that the three young men on the bike were thrown into the air and landed several meters away.

Angry people at the scene

Following the accident, anger was evident among those present at the scene. People claimed the government vehicle was speeding excessively and the driver had completely lost control. It's also surprising that the Tata Sumo in which the female police station in-charge was traveling has a pollution permit that expires in January 2025 and is uninsured. 

Despite this, the vehicle was being driven at high speed. People say that when you wear khaki, have three stars on your shoulders, and are in charge of a police station, rules are often ignored. This negligence proved fatal for three families.

The injured were referred to Lucknow 

Upon receiving information about the accident, the Gauriganj police station arrived at the scene and began rescue operations. With the help of local residents, the injured were transported to the community health center via ambulance. After providing first aid, doctors referred both men to the district hospital due to their critical condition. After examination, the district hospital doctors referred them to a higher treatment center in Lucknow.
