A Kanwariya was crushed to death on Friday afternoon on the Bareilly-Mathura Highway in Badaun’s Ujhani police station area. The incident triggered massive outrage among fellow devotees, who torched the tractor-trolley involved in the accident, leading to chaos and prolonged traffic disruption on the busy highway.
The accident occurred near the Butla Board area, where a tractor-trolley ran over a Kanwariya, identified as Ankit Kumar, 14, a resident of Bhuta police station area, in Bareilly.
According to police, Ankit, a resident of Bhagwanpur, under Bhuta police station, had halted with his group while returning with Kanwar from Kachla Ghat. They had parked their tractor-trolley on the roadside, and Ankit was resting in front of the vehicle.
