CM’s CONVOY MEETS WITH MISHAP, 5 HURT
Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit’s convoy met with an accident near Red Fort in Old Delhi on Wednesday, in which four security personnel and a senior official sustained minor injuries but she was unharmed.
In the incident four police constables and a senior official, Pravesh Kumar Jha [CM’s Private Secretary] were injured. However, the CM remained unharmed. Apart from this, five vehicles of the entourage were damaged as they collided back to back. ‘The accident took place when a cyclist, coming in the wrong direction, entered the CM’s entourage. The driver, while trying to save the cyclist, applied the brake, following which the car behind it rammed into it,’ said an official.
The car carrying Dikshit had moved well ahead when the incident took place. The CM was going to Delhi Secretariat from Raj Bhavan after attending the swearing-in ceremony of Justice Darmar Murugesan as Chief Justice of the Delhi High Court.
After the incident, Dikshit expressed concern for the injured. According to her, one official fractured two fingers of his right hand.
One injured constable was admitted to AIIMS Trauma Centre, from where he was been discharged later. Another constable had to get stitches on his ear. All injured were discharged after due medical care.
