Nalkheda, Madhya Pradesh: A rain-swollen drain swept away a car near the Maa Baglamukhi Temple, resulting in the tragic death of eight people, including three children, according to Agar-Malwa superintendent of police Dilip Kumar Soni. The victims were seven pilgrims from Odisha and one driver from Sudwas village in Barod tehsil of Agar-Malwa district.
All seven Odisha victims were residents of Bhubaneswar. The eighth victim, Arun Goyal (30), was the vehicle's driver. Preliminary investigations indicate drowning as the cause of death, with strong currents likely sweeping away the car as the driver attempted to cross the stream hastily. Heavy rainfall in the previous 24 hours, peaking during the night, caused the seasonal stream to rise sharply, transforming a typical temple visit into a devastating tragedy.
Following the incident, rescue teams recovered the vehicle and recovered all bodies for post-mortem examination.
