A horrific accident during the Ganesh idol immersion procession in Raichur on Saturday (September 19, 2026) has left two young boys dead and a 35-year-old man injured. The victims, 12-year-old Suchit Kumar and 13-year-old Charan Kumar, were among those who fell from a moving vehicle when the tractor carrying the idol lost control.
The injured man, Vijay, is receiving medical attention. The incident took place when the tractor driver, Munna alias Mohammad Hussain, drove aggressively over a speed breaker. Raichur Superintendent of Police Arunangshu Giri revealed that the accident was caused by the tractor's imbalance while navigating the road hump. The Raichur Traffic Police have filed a case against the driver and are conducting a thorough investigation into the matter.
