A scooter parked outside Betul’s Tapti Temple in Mulati surged forward when a child twisted the accelerator, crashing into the shrine. The child escaped without injury.
Earlier today, a scooter that was stationed in front of the Tapti Temple in Mulati, Betul, moved uncontrollably into the temple premises after a child riding it turned the accelerator. The sudden motion caused the two-wheeler to breach the temple entrance, startling worshippers present inside.
According to eyewitnesses, the child was seated on the scooter with family members nearby when the throttle was twisted, propelling the vehicle forward. The scooter entered the sanctum area but did not cause any structural damage, and the child was able to get out of the vehicle unharmed.
Temple authorities quickly intervened, clearing the scooter and ensuring that the shrine remained safe for devotees. Local police were called to the scene, recorded the incident, and advised the family on safety measures to prevent similar accidents in the future.
The incident highlights the need for greater vigilance around places of worship, especially when children are present near parked vehicles.
