Seven of two families killed as car falls off Ring Road in Jaipur

The mangled vehicle was spotted on Sunday by the locals, who alerted the police. Subsequently, the car was pulled out with the help of a crane.

“All seven passengers of the car were found dead inside. The bodies have been sent for post-mortem,” Shivdaspura SHO Surendra Saini said.

The deceased were identified as Ramraj Vaishnav, a resident of Vatika, Sanganer; his wife Madhu; their son Rudra; Ramraj’s relative Kaluram from Kekri, Ajmer; Kaluram’s wife Seema; their son Rohit; and Gajraj.

Saini said the accident appears to have taken place late on Saturday night, though the exact time is not known. “It came to light only on Sunday afternoon when the damaged car was noticed in the underpass,” he added.

According to police, Ramraj, who worked as a taxi driver, had gone to Haridwar with Kaluram and their families for the immersion of ashes of a deceased relative. They were returning to Jaipur when the accident took place.
