Four people from Rajasthan were killed and six others accompanying them were injured when their SUV hit a truck in Vidisha district of Madhya Pradesh early on Saturday morning, police said.

The accident took place around 4 am on the Biaora-Bina highway under Lateri police station limits, a police official said. “A group of 10 people, including seven women, from Jhalawad in Rajasthan were returning from a pilgrimage when their SUV hit a truck. Two women and as many men died in the accident,” he said.

The deceased have been identified as Kishanlal Lodha (60), Vinod Kumar Mali (34), Vardi Bai Lodha (70) and Rajbai Bheel (48), the official said. Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav expressed grief over the incident. “Sad news has been received about the death of four persons from Jhalawar district in Rajasthan in a road accident while returning from Bageshwar Dham in Lateri block in Vidisha district.

The district administration has been directed to provide proper treatment to the seriously injured,” Yadav said in a post on X. The Madhya Pradesh government stands with the families of the deceased in this hour of despair, he said.

The state government will provide adequate financial assistance to the families of the victims, he added.
