Paediatrician and Father-in-Law Die in Car Crash on Ratlam-Indore Highway; Several InjuredPreviousNext

A car accident on the Ratlam-Indore four-lane highway near Dharad village early Monday resulted in the deaths of Dr. Manish Singh, a government pediatrician posted in Ratlam, and his 80-year-old father-in-law, Shivnarayan Singh (also reported as Shivnarayan Rajauria). The vehicle, driven by Dr. Singh's brother-in-law Ajay Gupta, crashed into a divider after the driver reportedly dozed off. Six other family members, including Dr. Singh's wife and children, sustained injuries and were hospitalized. Police and toll staff responded promptly, and investigations are ongoing.
