Four dead, 8 injured as MUV hits truck in Indore
Indore (PTI): Four persons were killed and eight sustained injuries after their four-wheeler collided with a straw-laden truck in Madhya Pradesh's Indore district in the early hours of Monday, police said.
The accident occurred around 1.30 am on the Indore-Nemawar Road, assistant sub-inspector (ASI) Jagdish Rathod told PTI.
The victims were returning to Indore after attending a wedding in neighbouring Dewas district when their multi-utility vehicle (MUV) collided with a truck, he said.
He identified the deceased as Mohammad Farhan (19), Arish Ali (20), Mohammad Irfan (24) and Arfaad Khan (23).
Of the eight injured persons, three were discharged after first-aid, while five, including an 18-year-old in a critical condition, are hospitalised, he said.
A search is underway for the truck driver who absconded from the scene, the ASI said.
Angry locals tried to set the truck on fire, but the police brought the situation under control after pacifying them, he said.

Sengottaiyan secures historic 10th victory in Gobichettipalayam assembly constituency
Gobichettipalayam (Tamil Nadu) (PTI): In a historic 10th win, veteran leader K A Sengottaiyan clinched the Gobichettipalayam seat in the 2026 Assembly elections.
Contesting for the first time under actor Vijay’s TVK, the 78-year-old secured approximately 71,380 votes, defeating DMK’s N Nallasivam by a margin of nearly 13,000 votes.
This win marks Sengottaiyan’s 10th consecutive victory in the constituency, cementing his status as an immovable force in the region despite his high-profile exit from the AIADMK in late 2025.
His success was a cornerstone for the TVK, which emerged as a formidable force across the state. Supporters celebrated the win as a testament to Sengottaiyan’s personal influence, which successfully transitioned from his former Dravidian home to the newly formed TVK.
