Two Men Die After SUV Catches Fire Following Collision with Dumpers Near JabalpurPreviousNext

Two men, Parveen Sharma and Monu Sharma from Bhiwani, Haryana, died after their SUV was trapped between two dumpers and caught fire near Sharda Temple on Jabalpur's outskirts. The SUV, owned by Gaurav Kumar of Rohtak, was overtaking a truck when it collided with a dumper, which fled the scene. The vehicle was dragged for 200 to 500 meters before hitting another parked vehicle, causing a fire that trapped the occupants. Rescue attempts by locals were unsuccessful due to the blaze's intensity.
