Twelve police officers were injured in a road accident in Nashik, Maharashtra, while they were on their way to provide security at an event attended by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Deputy CMs Devendra Fadnavis and Ajit Pawar. The incident occurred when their van collided with a truck at Rahud Ghat on the Mumbai-Agra national highway in Chandwad taluka.
According to an official, one of the injured officers is in critical condition and has been transferred to Nashik for further treatment, while the others received treatment at the Chandwad sub-district hospital. The driver of the truck fled the scene and has been charged, with an investigation currently underway.
Interestingly, the event that the police officers were supposed to provide security for was the dedication of the first phase of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Agriculture Science Complex in Malegaon’s Kashti area. However, the CM addressed the gathering over the phone as Shinde, Fadnavis, and Pawar were unable to attend.
