90-Year-Old Man’s Last Wish Turns Into Tragedy as Seven Family Members Die in Jharkhand Road Accident

A family’s journey to fulfil the final wish of a 90-year-old man ended in a devastating road accident in Jharkhand’s Hazaribagh district. Six family members were killed and 12 others injured after a speeding trailer rammed into their vehicle while they were travelling towards Varanasi.

The tragedy has left the family facing an unimaginable situation. They had already lost the elderly man, Kunjo Pandit, who died due to illness on November 8. Now, following the accident, the family is preparing for seven funerals.

Family was travelling to fulfil the elderly man’s last wish

Kunjo Pandit, also known as Kunjo Prajapati, was a 90-year-old resident of Biharo village in the Bagodar block of Giridih district, Jharkhand.

He had died on November 8 after suffering from an illness. According to the family, his final wish was to have his last rites performed in Varanasi.

To fulfil that wish, family members began their journey towards Varanasi at around 9 am on November 10, carrying the elderly man's body.

However, the journey took a tragic turn before they could reach their destination.

Speeding trailer crashes into family vehicle

The accident occurred at Dhanua Ghati near Mahanetand in the Chouparan police station area of Hazaribagh district.

According to the available information, a speeding trailer rammed into the vehicle carrying the family members.

The collision was severe and resulted in multiple casualties. Six people died in the accident, while 12 others sustained injuries.

The injured passengers were taken to different hospitals for medical treatment.

Six killed and 12 injured

The accident has caused widespread grief among the family and their relatives.

Six family members lost their lives in the crash, while 12 injured people were admitted to different hospitals.

The incident is particularly heartbreaking because the family was travelling for a final religious and personal obligation connected to the death of their elderly relative.

Instead of reaching Varanasi to complete the planned last rites, the family found itself dealing with another devastating loss.

Seven funerals after one journey

Kunjo Pandit had already passed away two days before the accident. His family had planned the journey to Varanasi to honour his final wish.

Following the crash, six more people from the family lost their lives.

As a result, the family is now facing the painful responsibility of arranging seven funerals rather than completing the journey as originally planned.

The tragedy has turned what was meant to be a journey of remembrance and fulfilment into a heartbreaking loss.

Road safety concerns in Jharkhand

The accident at Dhanua Ghati has once again drawn attention to the dangers of road travel, particularly on routes used by heavy vehicles.

A collision involving a speeding trailer can have devastating consequences for smaller passenger vehicles.

The injured are receiving treatment at different hospitals, while the incident has left relatives and the local community in deep shock.

The family’s journey to fulfil a 90-year-old man's last wish has become one of the most tragic road accident stories from Jharkhand.
