In a heart-wrenching and astonishing incident reported from the Panna district of Madhya Pradesh, a young father lost his life in a road accident while his toddler strapped to his body remained completely unharmed. The body of a 21-year-old man was discovered by the roadside among bushes along the main Panna-Katni highway within the Shahnagar police station jurisdiction. What shocked onlookers and investigators alike was that the victim's one-and-a-half-year-old child was securely tied to his torso and emerged from the brutal crash without a single scratch, even though his father succumbed to his injuries at the scene.
Body and Damaged Motorcycle Found in Bushes
According to local authorities, the deceased was identified as Sarfaraz Pardhi, a resident of Nagwakheda in the Kupna Ghat area. On October 24, his body alongside a heavily damaged motorcycle was spotted in the vegetation alongside the busy Panna-Katni highway. Prompted by local alerts, the Shahnagar police station team arrived at the location, secured the area, and transferred the remains to a hospital for an autopsy. Following the medical examination, the body was handed over to the grieving family members for final rites.
Victim Was Missing For Three Days
Family members shared that Sarfaraz was the father of three young children, consisting of two girls and one boy. At the time of the tragic mishap, his wife Barki Bai was away in Katni to get their daughter medical treatment. Relatives mentioned that Sarfaraz had been missing for three days, leading the family to file a formal missing person report on October 22. The police are currently examining the accident angle alongside other potential scenarios to uncover the exact circumstances that led to the fatal mishap.
Other Road Mishaps Reported Across the State
