Death Just 5 Feet Away: Tejashwi's Security Personnel Injured in Accident, He Rushed Them to Hospital Himself

National News: When the speed of vehicles running on the roads of politics suddenly stops and screams are heard amidst the sirens, then obviously something untoward has happened. Something similar happened last night when Bihar's Leader of Opposition, Tejashwi Yadav, was returning from Madhepura to Patna. An escort vehicle in his convoy was hit by a speeding truck near the Godhiya bridge located in the Goraul police station area on Hajipur-Muzaffarpur NH-22. The collision was so strong that the vehicle was shattered and three security personnel riding in it were seriously injured.

Accident while sipping tea

According to the information, Tejashwi Yadav was returning to Patna from Madhepura after participating in a political program. On the way, he decided to stop at a tea shop near Godhiya Bridge. Some vehicles of his convoy were also parked there. Then an uncontrolled truck, which was coming at a high speed, suddenly went out of control and collided with the vehicles standing behind in the convoy.

Tejashwi Yadav had a narrow escape

It is worth noting that the truck collided just 5 feet from the place where Tejashwi Yadav was standing. If there was even a slight mistake, this accident could have shaken the politics of the state. In this terrifying moment, he took control of the situation without wasting any time and put the injured security personnel in his car and took them to Sadar Hospital himself.

Condition of the injured and the response of the administration

The injured have been identified as security personnel Ramnath Yadav, Lalan Kumar, and Dharamveer Kumar. All three were brought to Sadar Hospital for primary treatment, where doctors started treatment immediately. At the same time, the administration also reacted swiftly and seized the truck near the Patedha toll plaza. The driver has been taken into custody and is being questioned.

Tejashwi gave a balanced statement, but questions raised

Talking to the media, Tejashwi Yadav said, "Accidents keep happening, but strict action should be taken against careless people." Although he did not directly accuse anyone of a security lapse in this case, he definitely said that serious steps need to be taken on road accidents in the country.

Questions raised on security system

This incident has once again exposed the flaws of VVIP security protocol. The question also arises, how did such a big lapse happen in the convoy of a high-profile leader? Was it just an accident or negligence in security arrangements?

Tejashwi Yadav's alertness and human initiative prevented a potential major accident from becoming big news, but this incident is a warning to the administration that security arrangements should not be considered a mere formality. Now there is a need for concrete policy action against road accidents.
