In the Karnailganj area of Gonda, a vehicle in the convoy of BJP Lok Sabha Candidate from Kaiserganj, Karan Bhushan Singh, ran over four young men. Two of them died while two others were seriously injured. Karan is son of outoging BJP MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh.
Karan Bhushan Singh was fielded by the BJP from the seat after his father Brij Bhushan faced sexual harassment allegations from some top wrestlers. The case is in progress in a Delhi court. Voting for the Kaiserganj seat in Uttar Pradesh was held on May 20. The seat recorded 55.68% voter turnout.
The accident occurred involving a police escort vehicle in the convoy of Karan Bhushan Singh. Karan Bhushan Singh’s convoy was passing through the Karnailganj area of Gonda district in Uttar Pradesh when the accident happened. The police escort vehicle, part of his convoy, ran over four young men, resulting in the death of two and serious injuries to the other two.
The incident took place on Wednesday as Karan Bhushan Singh’s convoy was passing through the Karnailganj area of Gonda. As the convoy reached the Bahraich railway crossing, the police escort car lost control in the rush to move ahead. The out-of-control police escort vehicle hit two young men riding a bike and also collided with two pedestrians. All four injured were immediately taken to the local Community Health Center (CHC), where doctors declared two of them dead. The other two are being treated for serious injuries.
The collision was so severe that the airbags in the police escort vehicle deployed, and the car was badly damaged. Upon hearing the news, a large crowd, including the relatives of the deceased, gathered at the CHC and surrounded the area. All members of the convoy fled the scene. Due to the tense situation, a heavy police presence has been deployed at the location.
