'Your love and God's grace kept me safe': Tejashwi Yadav reacts after convoy accident; sister alleges conspiracy

NEW DELHI: In his first reaction after escaping unhurt in a major accident involving his convoy, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav thanked "people's love and God's grace" for keeping him unharmed.

"While returning from Madhepura to Patna, at around 1:30 am, an uncontrolled truck and a car entered our convoy in Goraul, Vaishali, and hit it, leaving three security personnel injured. They were immediately taken to the nearby Sadar Hospital, Hajipur, for first aid. We then took them to Patna for further treatment," Yadav wrote on X.


The injured security men were struck by a Bolero after the truck hit the SUV, he stated, adding that he and his convoy members were only a few feet away from the three guards.

"With your love, prayers and God's grace, the others remained safe. The injured personnel are undergoing treatment and are out of danger," Bihar's former deputy chief minister posted.

Sister smells conspiracy
His sister Rohini Acharya, on the other hand, asked whether the accident was only a "negligence or a deliberate attempt to harm."

"The negligence shown by the local administration in Tejashwi's security is a matter of serious concern. It should be investigated immediately. Could it be that the negligence was deliberate and the intention was to harm him?" Acharya said on X.


Further, she alleged that a similar incident happened with her brother's convoy in the past as well.

Police have arrested the truck driver and seized the vehicle. Tejashwi's vehicle, however, was not among those hit by the truck.
