On Friday morning, a tragic incident occurred when a speeding sleeper bus lost control on the Bhopal bypass bridge in Biaora, crashing into a wall in Madhya Pradesh’s Rajgarh district, resulting in the deaths of four people and injuries to 11 others, according to police. The deceased included cyber inspector Ravi KB, who was en route to Indore with his team to apprehend a suspect.
The driver and his colleagues, Vishwanath and Ramesh, were also injured. Rajgarh superintendent of police Amit Tolani reported that the high-speed bus lost control due to a curve on the bridge, causing the windows to shatter and passengers on the upper-deck sleeper seats to fall off the bridge. Some passengers were injured or fell onto the bridge itself.
The bus was traveling from Kanpur to Indore when the accident occurred. Four passengers, including the driver, lost their lives, and all injuries were treated at the Civil Hospital in Biaora.

Local MLA Narayan Singh Panwar promised to install warning signs and speed breakers at the curve of the bridge in memory of the victims, expressing condolences to their families.
