New Delhi: One person was killed and 17 others were
injured when an SUV ploughed into a religious procession at Pathalgaon
in Jashpur district of Chhattisgarh on Friday afternoon, police said.
The incident took place when residents of Bazarpara locality were
participating in a procession for the immersion of Goddess Durga idols,
an official said.
The deceased man was identified as Gaurav Agrawal (21).
Two occupants of the vehicle, Bablu Vishwakarma (21) and Shishupal
Sahu (26), natives of Singrauli in neighbouring Madhya Pradesh, were
later arrested from the outskirts of the town while the vehicle itself
was found burning, he said.
Locals claimed that the
two were smuggling ganja and set the SUV on fire themselves to destroy
evidence as they were being chased.
Tension prevailed in the town and a large number of people gathered outside the Pathalgaon police station.
Terming the incident as “sad and heart-wrenching”, chief minister
Bhupesh Baghel said the accused were immediately arrested and action has
also been taken against some police officers who were prima facie found
at fault.
“An inquiry has been ordered. No one will be spared. Justice will be
done to all. May the departed soul rest in peace. I pray for the speedy
recovery of the injured, Baghel tweeted in Hindi.
Baghel on Friday evening announced a compensation of Rs 50 lakh for the kin of the man who died.
घायलों के शीघ्र स्वास्थ्य लाभ की प्रार्थना करता हूँ.
Singh tweeted
a video of the incident and wrote, “This video is very painful. In
Chhattisgarh, the drug mafias have no fear of anyone. Will those taking
out religious processions be crushed like this now?”Jashpur SP
(Superintendent of Police) should be removed immediately. The kin of the
deceased should be given Rs 50 lakh compensation and immediate
arrangements should be made for the treatment of the injured.”
On Saturday, the Chief
Minister’s Office said that sub-inspector K.K. Sahu was suspended in
connection with the incident. The Pathalgaon TI line has been attached
