Man who came to buy bike on Dhanteras dies near bridge under construction on Indore highway

A young man died and his brother-in-law was seriously injured in a road accident on the Ahmedabad-Indore highway near Amjhera Fata on Dhanteras. Both had come to buy a motorcycle for the festival.

The deceased has been identified as Nansood Dodiyar. He had come to Indore on Friday with his brother-in-law Mukesh to buy a bike on Dhanteras. The two were riding a motorcycle towards Kundanpur in Jhabua.

According to sarpanch Nanu, a truck was moving ahead of their bike on the way. The accident took place near the bridge under construction at Amjhera Fata. Nansood died in the accident and Mukesh was seriously injured.

The family alleges that no sign informing motorists of a diversion had been put up at the spot where the bridge is being built. Sarpanch Nanu said the same, adding that there was no sign about the change of route at the construction site. He alleges that the accident happened because of the missing sign.

Annapurna police have registered a case of unnatural death (marg). Nansood's body was sent for post-mortem at the district hospital. Mukesh's condition is described as serious.
