Six people, including two head constables, on their way to Maha Kumbh in Uttar Pradesh’s Prayagraj were injured, with one constable battling for life after their car collided head-on with a truck on the Samruddhi Mahamarg (Mumbai–Nagpur Expressway). All are residents of the Ghatkopar area.

The case is being investigated by Pune’s rural Talegaon police as the accident occurred near their jurisdiction. Officials from Talegaon police told mid-day that they have registered a diary entry in this matter. “On February 22, six persons, including two police officers, had met with an accident and were admitted to nearby hospitals,” said an officer.
