In a shocking incident, four people died and twelve suffered injuries after a tractor-trolley carrying devotees overturned while returning from Chitrakoot, Uttar Pradesh during the early hours of Monday. The incident occurred on the Jhansi-Mirzapur Highway, a day after Diwali. 

The crash took place at around 2.30 am when the trolley went out of control, veered off the highway and overturned. Four devotees, including an innocent child, died in the accident. Several devotees from Uncha village, located in the Lakhimpur Kheri police station area of Prayagraj district, travelled to Chitrakoot on Saturday in tractor-trolleys to participate in the Deepdan Mela. Some of the Uncha villagers' relatives, residents of Rewa district in Madhya Pradesh, also participated. After Darshan and Deepdan, everyone returned to Prayagraj late Sunday night.
