According to police officers, the SUV was completely mangled in the crash, trapping the occupants inside near the Bagad turn in Jhunjhunu district
Two Army personnel lost their lives when an SUV crashed into a tree and overturned in Rajasthan’s Jhunjhunu district late Tuesday night, according to police. The crash left a 36-year-old soldier and his 22-year-old friend dead, while two others—Ajay Kumar, 25, and Sakshi Sihag, 21—sustained injuries. The SUV was severely damaged, trapping the occupants near the Bagad turn.
Rescue teams employed a JCB machine and a crane to extricate the victims from the mangled vehicle. The deceased were identified as Rakesh Kumar and Nitin, a son of a Bagad police constable named Randhir Singh. The injured were initially treated at a nearby hospital before being transferred to SMS Hospital in Jaipur for further care.
Police received notification of the accident on the night between Tuesday and Wednesday. The bodies of the deceased were transferred to the government hospital mortuary in Bagad, and postmortems were conducted on Wednesday morning. The families of the victims claimed that none of the SUV's six airbags deployed, despite the severity of the crash. This matter will be investigated as part of the official inquiry.
