Shockwaves rippled through Sriganganagar as Circle Inspector Jyoti Naik, a pillar of the local police, died in a brutal road crash during early morning duty. Around 5 AM Wednesday, near the sacred Durga Temple, a car out of control barreled into her patrol jeep.
The collision’s ferocity wrecked the police SUV, critically injuring Naik who was airlifted metaphorically to the hospital—alas, medics could not revive her. Her team’s vigilance met a sorrowful end on these streets she protected.
A second cop and the errant driver sustained hurts but are stabilizing in care. Charges are pressed against the motorist amid evidence of speeding and carelessness from scene analysis. Detectives delve deeper.
SP Dr. Amrita Duhan led officials to the hospital, comforting Naik’s loved ones with promises of support. Eulogies celebrate her as a paragon of bravery and loyalty, her absence mourned citywide.
Echoing the pain, Dausa’s highway turned graveyard late Tuesday: a car flipped over the divider near Kailai, exploding into a trailer and killing five, seriously wounding another at midnight hour.
Police impounded bodies for Sikandra post-mortems, cleared the snarl-up to resume traffic. Speed mania and control lapse flagged as villains; trailer’s pilot faces grilling.
From temple precincts to national arteries, these fiascos scream for vigilance: advanced surveillance, driver training, and zero-tolerance policing to stem the bloodbath on roads.
