12 Miscreants Open Fire at Madhya Pradesh Toll Plaza; 2 Drown in Escape Attempt

Two individuals tragically lost their lives after falling into a well while attempting to escape assailants during an attack at a toll plaza in Madhya Pradesh’s Datia district on Wednesday. The incident, captured on CCTV, occurred at the toll plaza under the jurisdiction of Chirula police station, situated on the border of Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh.

According to Chirula police station in-charge Nitin Bhargava, a group of twelve miscreants on six motorcycles arrived at the toll plaza and opened fire on the employees working there. The gunfire lasted for approximately 15 minutes, causing chaos as toll plaza employees scrambled for safety. In the confusion, some employees fled towards nearby fields, resulting in two individuals inadvertently falling into a well. Tragically, their bodies were retrieved later.

A case has been registered against the accused, and further investigation is currently underway, as stated by the official.

In a separate incident, an NHAI’s Chijarsi toll plaza staff member in Uttar Pradesh’s Hapur district was allegedly hit and run over by a car driver last August.

According to Deepak Verma, manager of the Chijarsi toll plaza, the car driver, queued behind a truck at the toll gate and proceeded towards Hapur from the Ghaziabad side. Upon the truck passing through the gates, the car followed closely and evaded toll payment. A staff member attempted to halt the car, but the driver accelerated, hitting the toll staff member deliberately. The driver then fled towards Hapur, leaving the injured staff member, identified as Shekhar Yadav, with multiple injuries, including a fractured leg. Yadav was promptly transported to the hospital for medical attention.

These incidents underscore the need for heightened security measures and vigilance at toll plazas to ensure the safety of both employees and commuters.
