Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s estranged wife Jashodaben was injured in a car accident that happened at around 10 am on 7th February. Jashodaben was traveling in from Atru in Bara towards Udaipur when the Innova hit with a trailer truck causing a fatal crash.
The accident took place around 55 kms from Chittorgarh on the Kota-Chittor highway. As per the sources, 7 people were traveling in the car including Jashodaben, her bodyguard, driver, and some other relatives. Reportedly, one of the relatives named Basant Bhai, died on the spot while his wife Vimla Modi was seriously injured. The driver was also injured in the crash but luckily survived.
Jashodaben had a narrow escape from the accident with minor injuries. She was immediately taken for the primary checkup and was soon discharged. Looking at the condition of the Innova, one could easily tell that it was quite a fatal crash and it was no less than a miracle that most of the occupants of the back seat survived.
The sub-divisional magistrate of Chittorgarh, Suresh Khatik, stated, “Jashodaben is okay. She’s in comfort. She is getting primary health check-up done.”
Another Officer, Rajesh Arora said, “A case will be registered against the unidentified truck driver.”
Media reports suggest that the unidentified truck driver was soon detained and the investigations began to find out as to what caused the accident. Later, it was confirmed that the truck driver had applied emergency brakes because of which the Innova, which was right behind the truck, collided and crashed.
Jashodaben is the estranged wife of PM Modi; the two got married when Modi was just 17 years old. It’s said that Modi always wanted to pursue his political career and had no interest in settling down with his family. So, soon after the marriage, the two had parted ways with a mutual consent.
