Aligarh’s roads turned deadly on April 13 when an auto-rickshaw slammed into an Ertiga SUV near Sikandarpur canal in Jawan police jurisdiction. The violent crash killed two people instantly and injured multiple others, sparking panic among locals who gathered at the bloodied site.
Eyewitnesses recounted how the vehicles collided head-on with tremendous force, flipping the auto and scattering debris everywhere. DSP Sarvam Singh led the response team, coordinating rescues amid the mayhem. Victims were rushed to CHC Jawan, where the auto driver and one female passenger succumbed to injuries. Survivors received intensive care at JN Medical College, where their conditions are under monitoring.
Authorities seized the Ertiga for forensic analysis, probing whether reckless driving or road conditions triggered the disaster. The grieving kin’s laments echo through the neighborhood, highlighting yet another preventable tragedy in a state plagued by vehicular fatalities.
Shifting focus to Meerut, Sardhana police thwarted a cow slaughter operation in a daring shootout. Intel on activity near Ganga canal’s jungle prompted a raid, met with gunfire from the butchers. Police fired back, hitting fugitive-turned-arrested Monish in the leg.
Capturing Monish, Sartaj, and Dilshad, forces seized a live cow, a quintal of meat, prohibited firearm, ammo, and butchery gear. Two to three suspects escaped, but combing operations continue relentlessly. CO Ashutosh assured the public of rigorous follow-up, with an FIR lodged under serious sections to curb these brazen crimes.
