Jaipur Police said the Thar lost control while taking a turn and overturned after first crashing into a Ford Endeavour SUV. The SUV is registered in the name of the wife of Congress leader Ashok Chandna.
Police said the Endeavour was passing through the intersection when the Thar rammed into it before striking the nearby e-rickshaw. The impact left the e-rickshaw occupants seriously injured.
Following the crash, the passengers of both vehicles, along with the drivers, fled the scene, according to police.
A crane was brought in to remove the damaged vehicles from the road and restore traffic movement. Police have seized both the Thar and the Endeavour and launched a search for the drivers who fled.
Investigators are also examining CCTV footage from cameras installed in the surrounding area to establish exactly how the accident occurred and identify those involved.
