A CRPF jawan died after a sand-laden lorry hit a van on the main road between Pasra and the Tadvai forest check post in Telangana’s Mulugu district on Thursday, according to a report by Deccan Chronicle. The report’s headline refers to two CRPF jawans being killed, but its article body confirms the death of one jawan, leaving the reported toll unclear.
The crash also involved a car carrying two revenue department employees. After hitting the van, the lorry rammed into the car, seriously injuring both employees, the report said. Police reached the scene and moved the injured people to a nearby hospital.
The incident occurred on a road connecting Pasra and the Tadvai forest check post, an area identified in the report as being in Mulugu district. The supplied account does not provide the exact time of the crash, the identities of those involved, the registration details of the vehicles or the condition of any other occupants of the van.
Initial reports cited by Deccan Chronicle attributed the crash to possible over-speeding and rash driving. The wording indicates that these factors had not been conclusively established at the time of publication. The sand-laden lorry driver reportedly fled the scene after the collision.
Police registered a case under relevant provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and began efforts to trace the driver. The report does not specify the sections invoked, whether the lorry was seized or whether investigators had recorded statements from eyewitnesses and the injured revenue officials.
The discrepancy between the headline and the body of the supplied report is significant because it affects the confirmed death toll. No independent police statement, hospital bulletin or official district administration confirmation is included in the material available for this draft. The number of fatalities and the condition of other occupants therefore require confirmation from the police or district authorities before publication as a settled account.
