Breaking: Truck Crush During Ganpati Procession Kills Eight; Multiple Disasters Spark Panic In India

A wave of tragic events struck multiple states in India, beginning with a deadly crash in Karnataka’s Hasan district. The vehicle hit a Ganpati immersion procession near Hoshalli on NH 373, killing eight people and injuring over twenty, authorities said. Witnesses questioned crowd management and claimed policing at the scene lacked adequate safety precautions. Separately, a SpiceJet Q400 flight from Kandla to Mumbai reportedly lost a tyre during takeoff; despite the mechanical issue the crew completed the scheduled flight and landed safely after emergency protocols were activated and Mumbai Airport placed temporary precautions. In Mumbai, a reported firing outside actor Disha Patani’s family home prompted police to open an investigation; no casualties were reported. In Jammu and Kashmir’s Baramulla district a car crash into a house injured several family members after the vehicle allegedly sped out of control, leaving residents shocked. In Telangana, heavy floods swept a tractor into fast currents; rescue teams pulled drivers to safety before the vehicles submerged. Elsewhere, a violent domestic murder case in Uttar Pradesh and communal tensions in Maharashtra’s Akola added to public anxiety. Officials have launched multiple probes and urged calm as rescue, medical and law enforcement teams continue relief and investigation efforts.
