Mufti’s Escort Vehicle Skids Off Road in J&K, 3 Policemen Injured
In a recent incident, an escort vehicle in the cavalcade of former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chief Mehbooba Mufti met with an accident in North Kashmir’s Baramulla district on Sunday. The accident took place when the escort vehicle lost control and skidded off the road, injuring three police personnel.
The incident occurred when Mufti was on her way to Baramulla to attend a function. The escort vehicle, which was part of her cavalcade, was traveling on the Baramulla-Uri road when it suddenly lost control and veered off the road. The vehicle skidded off the road and crashed into a nearby ditch, resulting in injuries to three police personnel who were traveling in the vehicle.
The injured police personnel were rushed to a nearby hospital for medical treatment. The extent of their injuries is not known, but it is reported that they are out of danger.
The police have taken cognizance of the incident and launched an investigation to determine the cause of the accident. An official spokesperson of the police department has confirmed the incident and said that an inquiry has been ordered to identify the reasons behind the accident.
This is not the first time that an escort vehicle in Mufti’s cavalcade has been involved in an accident. Earlier, in 2019, an escort vehicle in her cavalcade was involved in a collision with a truck in Jammu, resulting in injuries to several people.
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has been a major political party in Jammu and Kashmir, and Mehbooba Mufti has been its president since 2009. The party has been involved in several political controversies over the years, including allegations of corruption and misuse of power.
The incident has raised concerns about the security measures in place for VIP movements in the state. The Jammu and Kashmir government has been criticized in the past for its handling of security arrangements for VIPs, with several incidents of security breaches reported over the years.
The state government has ordered an inquiry into the incident to identify the reasons behind the accident and to ensure that such incidents do not occur in the future. The government has also promised to take strict action against those responsible for the accident.
In conclusion, the recent incident involving an escort vehicle in Mehbooba Mufti’s cavalcade has raised concerns about the security measures in place for VIP movements in Jammu and Kashmir. The incident has also highlighted the need for greater vigilance and attention to detail in ensuring the safety of VIPs and their security personnel.
