PATNA: An escort vehicle in the convoy of Union Minister of State (MoS) Ashwini Choubey on Sunday met with an accident, wherein many polices were injured.

The accident took place late on Sunday night while the Union Minister was on his way from Buxar to Patna. The vehicle overturned and fell into a pit. The Minister shared the video on Twitter in which he could be seen inspecting the escort vehicle that was overturned.

The cops were deployed in the Koransarai police and the Innova car in which the Union minister was boarded was just behind the escort car. The injured coos were admitted to Dumraon sub-divisional hospital and two were in critical condition. 

"The police van fell into the pit filled with water. Our security personnel and other supporters who were travelling with me broke the windshields of the vehicle and rescued them. Two of the Police have sustained serious injuries," Chaubey mentioned.

Following the accident, the personal security guards of Chaubey along with his other aides rescued them and admitted them to the hospital.

The accident happened at the Mathila-Narayanpur road near Dumraon.

Ashwini Kumar Chaubey is MP of Buxar and minister of state for environment and forest ministry in the Narendra Modi government. He arrived Patna to meet with the agitating farmers in Chausa and faced stiff resistance from them a few days ago.
