A three‑vehicle collision on the Delhi‑Mumbai Expressway left three women dead and caused a massive traffic jam that trapped BJP state president Madan Rathod’s convoy returning to Jaipur.
A collision involving three vehicles on the Delhi‑Mumbai Expressway resulted in the deaths of three women, according to local police reports. The crash triggered a severe bottleneck that stretched for several kilometres, halting traffic in both directions.
The blockage caught the convoy of Madan Rathod, the president of the Rajasthan unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party, which was travelling from Delhi back to Jaipur. As the jam persisted, local residents gathered around the stranded vehicles, eventually surrounding the convoy and forcing the officials to sit on the road.
Authorities dispatched emergency services to the site, but the focus remained on clearing the jam and investigating the cause of the accident. No injuries to the political delegation were reported, and Rathod’s team is expected to resume travel once the road is cleared.
The incident underscores the growing concerns over traffic safety on the high‑speed corridor, especially during peak travel periods. Police have urged motorists to adhere to speed limits and maintain safe distances to prevent similar tragedies.
Further details on the investigation and any legal actions will be released by the police in due course.
