Dhar car accident kills four youths in Madhya Pradesh
Four young men died after their car caught fire and plunged into a ravine on the Mhow-Neemuch four-lane highway in the Dhar district of Madhya Pradesh. The incident occurred around 11:30 PM on October 25 near the Heera Shri Dhaba in the Sadalpur police station area.
The victims, who were returning from visiting the Sanwariya Seth temple, were identified as 24-year-old Bhim Dhakad, 21-year-old Chetan Dhakad, 22-year-old Aditya Tiwari, and 19-year-old Abhishek Solanki. According to police, the accident was triggered when a fire broke out in one of the vehicle's wheels, causing the driver to lose control. The car veered off the road and fell into a deep ditch, where it was quickly engulfed in flames.
A fifth passenger, Tushar Mandloi, managed to escape the vehicle but sustained severe burns. He was initially treated in Sadalpur before being referred to a hospital in Indore for advanced medical care. Local police have recovered the bodies and sent them for post-mortem examinations at the Dhar District Hospital while continuing their investigation.
