Jaipur/Neemkathana, Rajasthan: The menace of reckless driving continues unabated in Rajasthan, leaving yet another tragic mark. Just as the state was grappling with the aftermath of the Harmada dumper accident in Jaipur, a horrifying incident unfolded in Neemkathana, Sikar district, on Wednesday afternoon.
A high-speed Hyundai i20 lost control and smashed through the wall of a house in Mahawa village, entering the courtyard. Tragically, the vehicle ran over two minor sisters who were playing, killing 12-year-old Shilpa on the way to the district hospital. Her younger sister, Anu, remains critically injured and is fighting for her life. The family is plunged into grief, and the laughter that had filled the home moments before turned into silence and mourning.
