Vehicle of former Rajasthan CM Vasundhara Raje's carcade overturns; Three cops sustain minor injuries

To avoid crashing with a motorcycle, three policemen sustained minor injuries when a vehicle of former chief minister Vasundhara Raje's carcade overturned in Rajasthan's Pali district on Sunday, police said.

The accident occurred while Raje was on her way to meet former minister Otaram Dewasi to express her condolence over his mother's death. "Seven policemen were travelling in the car. Some of them have sustained minor injuries," Pali SP Chuna Ram Jat said.

Raje left for Mundara village of Pali district by road. A police car which was escorting her between Bali and Kot Baliyan overturned while trying to save a bike rider.


A BJP leader said that his car was behind the car which overturned thrice. He said he immediately got down and helped in sending the injured policemen to a hospital.

"While returning from Mundara to Jodhpur, the policemen Ruparam Ji, Bhagchand Ji, Suraj Ji, Naveen Ji and Jitendra Ji were injured when the police jeep following behind overturned. The injured policemen were immediately rushed to the Government Hospital by ambulance, where they were given first aid and discharged. I pray for their speedy recovery," said Raje in a post on X.
