In Morena, Madhya Pradesh, a BJP youth wing leader, Dipendra Bhadoria, allegedly drove his car at high speed and in an inebriated state, hitting a group of people sitting around a bonfire. The incident resulted in the deaths of Ramdatt Rathore (65) and Arnav Lashkar (11), with three others injured. Bhadoria was initially apprehended by locals and handed to the police but later escaped custody before being rearrested. The escape led to protests and a highway blockade by angry residents demanding strict action.
