# Two killed, two injured in SUV crash in Rajasthan 2026-08-06T02:25:02+00:00 | India | Indian Opinion Desk An Army soldier, Rakesh Kumar, and his friend Nitin, the 22-year-old son of a police constable, were killed when their SUV crashed into a tree and overturned near the Bagad turn in Rajasthan's Jhunjhunu district late on Tuesday night, according to Hindustan Times, citing police. Assistant Sub-Inspector Randhir Singh of Bagad police station said two other occupants, Ajay Kumar, 25, and Sakshi Sihag, 21, were injured and taken first to a nearby hospital before being referred to SMS Hospital in Jaipur for advanced treatment. A 112 patrol team responded overnight and used a JCB machine and a crane to free the occupants from the wreckage. The bodies of Kumar and Nitin were taken to the government hospital mortuary in Bagad, where post-mortems were carried out on Wednesday morning before the bodies were released to their families. Relatives alleged that none of the SUV's six airbags deployed despite the severity of the impact, police said the claim would form part of the investigation. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Hindustan Times attributes every detail here to police officers, including Assistant Sub-Inspector Randhir Singh, and the crash's cause itself, whether speed, road conditions or a vehicle fault was responsible, is not established in what officers have said so far. The family's airbag allegation is specific, naming all six airbags as having failed to deploy, but police have only confirmed it will be examined, not what that examination found. The specific outcome still to come is whether the police investigation confirms or rules out the family's claim that none of the six airbags deployed. ## Coverage - www.hindustantimes.com Tags: Jhunjhunu, Rajasthan Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/army-personnel-among-2-killed-2-injured-after-suv-crashes-into-tree-in-rajasthan/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
