Bulandshahr, May 16, 2025 – A devastating road accident in the Jahangirabad area of Bulandshahr district has left five people dead and 27 others seriously injured, sending shockwaves through the region.
The incident occurred near Raonda village, under Jahangirabad police station limits, when a speeding truck collided head-on with a DCM vehicle carrying over two dozen labourers. The impact of the collision was so severe that three people died on the spot, while two more succumbed to injuries during treatment at the medical facility, raising the death toll to five.
