Three injured in Jaipur collision near Mansarovar Metro station

Three labourers were injured late Sunday night when a speeding Thar collided with an Endeavour SUV and then crashed into an e-rickshaw near Mansarovar Metro station in Jaipur, police said. The accident occurred around 11:30 pm on August 31, 2026, according to officials.

Police told news agency PTI that the Thar overturned while taking a turn after allegedly speeding from the Gurjar Ki Thadi side. The Endeavour, coming from another side, then hit the overturned vehicle before crashing into the e-rickshaw. The force of the collision threw the e-rickshaw nearly 50 feet away, while the Endeavour also overturned, police said.

The three injured labourers were identified as Shankar Singh (50) and Mukesh Jawali (48), both residents of Laxmangarh in Alwar district, and Umashankar (48) of Janta Colony in Jaipur. They were taken to SMS Hospital, where one of them is in critical condition, Mansarovar SHO Satish Chand said.

Police said the labourers were returning after supplying ice cream at a party when the accident occurred.

The occupants of both the Endeavour and the Thar fled the spot after the accident, leaving the vehicles behind. Police have seized all three vehicles — the Endeavour, the Thar, and the e-rickshaw — and are examining CCTV footage from the area to identify the drivers.

Vehicle ownership and prior challans

The Endeavour is registered in the name of Lalita Chandna, wife of Congress leader and former minister Ashok Chandna. According to SHO Satish Chand, the Endeavour has about two dozen traffic challans, while the Thar has six over-speeding challans.

Police said the FIR alleges rash driving and drunkenness, as reported by The Times of India.
