A vehicle in the carcade of former Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje met with an accident, leaving three police personnel with minor injuries. The incident occurred during a routine movement near Kota.
According to initial reports, the carcade was en route to an event when one of the escort vehicles overturned due to a sudden maneuver to avoid a collision with another vehicle. The affected car was carrying police personnel responsible for the security detail.
Eyewitnesses at the scene reported that the vehicle skidded on a sharp turn, leading to the mishap. Emergency responders rushed to the spot and provided immediate medical attention to the injured officers. The injuries sustained were minor, and all three personnel are reported to be in stable condition.
Following the accident, Vasundhara Raje’s carcade was temporarily halted, and an alternative security arrangement was quickly implemented to ensure her continued safety. The convoy resumed its journey shortly after the incident.
A senior police official stated, “We are investigating the circumstances leading to the accident. The officers injured are receiving the necessary medical care, and their condition is being monitored.”
The incident has raised concerns about the safety protocols followed during VIP movements. Authorities are reviewing the measures in place to prevent such accidents in the future. With VIP convoys often moving at high speeds, maintaining a balance between security and road safety remains a significant challenge.
The news of the accident has sparked discussions about the need for stricter guidelines and better training for personnel managing high-profile convoys. Political leaders across party lines have expressed their concern and wished the injured officers a speedy recovery.
