Jitendra Singh Rajput, the councillor for Bhopal's Ward 66, had a close brush with disaster when a crane carrying him and his uncle to garland a statue of Maharana Pratap on his birth anniversary collapsed, plunging them 20 feet to the ground. The incident occurred as Rajput and his uncle were being lifted to the statue. Video footage shows one of them gesturing for the crane to go higher. As Rajput leaned forward to place the garland, the crane's lift suddenly came crashing down due to a welding failure. Three people suffered injuries in the incident. They were quickly taken to a local hospital. UP Shocker: Shopkeeper Brutally Thrashed, Tied to Bike and Dragged for 300 Metres for ‘Refusing Free Snacks’ in Kheri; Dies.
