Nalkheda in Madhya Pradesh witnessed a horrific car accident on September 19, 2026, when a vehicle carrying eight Odisha devotees was swept away by a swollen seasonal stream.

The exact cause remains under investigation, and efforts are underway to identify and notify the remaining victims' families.
